Fattoria Borrello

Fattoria Borrello, located in the picturesque Contrada Bosco in Raccuja, Sicily, offers a distinctive culinary and experiential adventure that stays true to traditional farming practices. As a farm-to-table osteria embedded in the heart of the Nebrodi mountains, it captures the essence of the region's agricultural heritage. The main protagonist in its culinary lineup is the Suino Nero dei Nebrodi, a special breed of black pig, which reflects the authentic flavors of the area.

The venue embraces a 'zero-kilometer' philosophy, highlighting the freshest ingredients that are produced, cultivated, and processed on-site. Visitors can indulge in an array of seasonal vegetables, exquisite olive oil that is a Slow Food Presidium, and a selection of cured meats such as pancetta, lardo, and prosciutti. Cheese enthusiasts will appreciate the variety of cheeses and preserves offered.

The dining experience is deeply rooted in the rhythm of the seasons and filled with traditional yet innovative dishes that spotlight local flavors. One of the standout offerings includes arancini filled with stracotto di pecora, a savory stew made from stewed sheep shoulder, blended with local melanzane violetta and fresh provola cheese.

Beyond a meal, Fattoria Borrello offers visitors a range of experiences. The setting, surrounded by lush vegetation, is characteristic of a working farm where activities engage guests throughout the day. Allowing diners to experience the beauty of Sicily’s rustic landscape is as integral to their visit as the meal itself. The venue offers a unique experience suited for those seeking a genuine taste of Sicilian culture and cuisine away from the bustling tourist paths.
