Artisan Company Nunquam - Chef Fabio Goti
The artisan company “Nunquam” is in Tavola, a small village near Prato and closed to Poggio a Caiano and Carmignano; the owner is Mrs. Cristina Pagliai, who is taking care about all the production process with her husband Mr. Fabio Goti.
All products, labelled “Alla Gusteria” and “Osteria de Ciotti” (and after also the Vermouth and all liqueurs “Nunquam”), are a gourmet project which started in 1999. At the beginning the project started with the opening of a restaurant/wine bar with a creative cooking called “Alla Gusteria”, managed by the Chef and Sommelier Fabio Goti, giving a shake to the gourmet scene of Prato, which was enough stagnating.
And till the year 2003 it remained a meeting point for many local lovers, but slowly also of many gourmet people coming from all Tuscan and Italian cities looking for special recipes , prepared and done with high quality and artisan products and elaborated for a nice and emotional impact for taste and sight.
From this short but intense experience it has born the gourmet line “Alla Gusteria”, specialized in preserves, mustards and jellies suitable for combination with salami, cold meats and cheeses. The fruits and vegetables, absolutely in season, are selected, washed and sectioned by hand with high attention.
The short cooking, keeping unchanged the organoleptic properties, flavour and colour included, is done into steel home pots. With the line “Osteria de Ciotti” proposes famous recipes of local cooking, using always of course excellent raw materials.
For example specialities like ribollita, or carabaccia, or zolfini beans uccelletto style, or cacciucco with pink small chickpeas from Reggello, and many others; all packed and sold into nice glass jars.
In the same way that distinguish the company from 2012 started the production of canned fish and meat, and in 2013 scored the same, for the purpose of marketing all over the world, recognition there from the Tuscany region. Into the next, closed room there is the preparation/production of the different liqueurs and Vermouth. “Nunquam” is especially the one and only company which is producing the White Vermouth of Prato, a vanished product for many time and now after approx. 60 years again on sale with success, thanks to the same and original recipe dated year 1750.
