Our Story

Borgo Monti is a producer of gourmet delicacies established in May 2005 by Samantha Franz, founder and graduate in Food Science and Technology (degree from Università Cattolica di Piacenza), and Matteo Camisasca, co-founder and President.

Borgo Monti aims to safeguard the finest aspects of ancient traditions, marrying them with the latest technologies. This successful union forms the foundation of our business: constant innovation, imagination, creativity, a deep bond with the territory, and quality. This commitment begins with the selection of raw materials and continues through low-temperature processing (between 40 and 60°C) using a vacuum technique that preserves the organoleptic properties of the ingredients, resulting in an extraordinarily high-quality finished product with an incredibly fresh and natural taste.

Our product range includes premium fruit preserves with concentrations always exceeding 100%, fruit spreads, mustards, chutneys, ready-made sauces, pairing sauces (for meats, cheeses, appetizers, and much more), fruit in syrup and wine-flavored fruit, and vegetables in oil. From approximately mid-October to the end of March, we also craft a line of artisanal chocolates filled with our extraordinary preserves (simply a must-try).

Borgo Monti adheres to the Economy of Communion project - www.edc-online.org - which involves companies worldwide across diverse sectors, united by a new style of business management that places the human person at the heart of the enterprise. While operating within the market and its rules, companies in the EdC Project guide their development along three fundamental pillars:

• helping those in difficulty by creating new jobs and providing for basic needs, starting with those who share the spirit of the Project, but not exclusively;
• spreading the “Culture of Giving” and love, without which it is impossible to realize an Economy of Communion;
• developing the business, which must be efficient, profitable, and open to the gift.

“Economy of Communion” companies distribute and donate a portion of their profits according to the objectives of these three pillars.

Borgo Monti was awarded the recognition of Piedmontese Artisan Excellence after only four years of operation and has won several awards for individual products, including the Special Jury Prize at the Agro-Food Competition promoted by the Rotary Club of Pallanza Stresa for the Yellow Raspberry Jam and for the Preserve-filled Chocolates, and later, in November 2012, the “Bontà a Tavola” Award for the Ca’ d’ Matè Mustard. In 2024, the shop in Domodossola was honored at Golosaria as one of the best gourmet boutiques in Italy.
Since its inception, Borgo Monti has also received consistent acclaim in the trade press and food and wine guides for the excellent quality of its products.
