Vegetable garden

The story of Borgo San Gregorio told through the story and tour of our vegetable garden. This is where our guests, together with our Chef, begin their cooking class experience by choosing one or more types of vegetables as the main ingredient of their recipe. Our vegetable garden is also the perfect location where we take delight in planning special events depending on the season. Lastly, it's also where San Gregorio's selection of garden products comes from - a delicious combination of flavors and colors for you to take home and add to your creations.

Tomato is an excellent source of antioxidants. It's also rich in minerals including iron, zinc, selenium, phosphorus and calcium associated with a combination of citrates, tartrates and nitrates with remineralizing and anti-radical properties. 

Kale pesto

Kale is a treasure trove of minerals and contains large amounts of potassium, calcium and iron. It also provides vitamins like ascorbic acid (vitamin C), carotenoids (provitamin A) and folate. Kale is also rich in phytosterols and polyphenols, both powerful antioxidants.

Hazelnut cream

Hazelnuts are very rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid) as well as vitamin E, phytosterols and polyphenols, which play an important role in preventing cardiovascular disease.
