Wild herb salad with balsamic vinegar and beetroot
A fresh salad is the perfect appetizer. We have fresh beets in our garden right now, which we lightly cook and then chop. Wild herbs like dandelion, burnet root, pumpkin seeds, and arugula, along with aromatic herbs like rosemary or oregano, pair perfectly with it. As for the dressing, we prefer a dark balsamic vinegar. At Naturata, you can find balsamic vinegar, hailed as the «king of vinegars.» It’s made using traditional methods and aged for many years in oak barrels. Modena balsamic vinegar (PGI certified, extra virgin, 250ml) is available here.
Another tip: In addition to a good vegetable oil, such as olive oil (which you can also find at Naturata, and we’ve recommended it before), a spoonful of good mustard is also a great option. Naturata offers balsamic mustard. The mustard seeds come from biodynamic farmers, primarily from Austria. This mustard is of superior quality because it also contains Naturata PGI balsamic vinegar, certified by Dermitt. You can purchase this mustard sauce from Naturata’s online store.

Gluten-free pasta with tomato sauce or gravy and fresh basil
Naturata has a wide range of gluten-free pasta made from brown rice. We regularly serve both spaghetti and spirelli. We found them particularly great Spirelli tricolor with rice and tomatoes and spinach for color. Naturally Naturata does not use colorants or additives in the pasta. The tagliatelle are colored with vegetables and you can also enjoy them. Each color has a slightly different flavor. It’s really cool. There is also a wide range of sauces and gravy at Naturata. Here you can find all Naturata pasta products.
Tomato sauce is available in the following varieties:

THE Chicory coffee it is made of 100% chicory root from a company that grows the root according to Demeter standards. Chicory is also known as chicory, a plant with blue flowers that is often found along roadsides in summer. From its root (chicory root) the so-called Fucked Coffee replacement product. It was mainly drunk when there was no money to buy coffee beans. Dried and roasted, chicory root tastes similar to coffee when brewed, but is caffeine-free. I love the taste and Naturata chicory coffee is very delicate and not at all bitter. You can buy it as an instant powder and for filtering.
A coffee substitute is also prepared with toasted lupins. Contains a blend of lupins, rye and chicory. Rye is not gluten-free itself. However, Naturata has a manufacturing process that ensures no gluten remains in the product. We have also been using the coffee alternative for several years and tolerate it very well. The strong, full-bodied aroma with fine crema when poured with hot water is a real pleasure and the coffee substitute can be drunk at any time of the day as it is caffeine-free. We love enjoying a little piece of high-quality chocolate from Naturata. Organic dark chocolate with 95% cocoa (available here) fits perfectly. If you prefer it fruitier, try white chocolate with raspberry (available here) try.

Make your own lavender lemonade – the perfect refreshment now in AugustThe dressing plays a crucial role in this salad. A finely aged dark balsamic vinegar, especially one made using traditional methods and aged in oak barrels, adds layers of complexity and a soft acidity, enhancing the natural flavors of the vegetables. Produced in Modena and PGI certified, this balsamic vinegar guarantees authentic quality and achieves a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. When blended with premium vegetable oils such as extra virgin olive oil, the dressing becomes rich, smooth, aromatic, and nutritious.
A spoonful of premium mustard adds a layer of complexity to the dressing. Made from biodynamically grown mustard seeds and refined with premium balsamic vinegar, the mustard has both spiciness and a subtle sweetness.
