Grown with Love, Prepared with Passion, Served with Pride

Whenever we say that our vegetables are grown with love, we mean it. We grow asparagus, which are a popular feature of our menus at the moment, by ourselves at the Ramovš agritourism farm not far from Ljubljana. The green delicacy, which has recently become extremely popular with foodies both in Slovenia and elsewhere, is prepared and served to our guests in a thousand and one way on the same day it is harvested.

In addition to using asparagus, our master chefs also love creating à la carte dishes with our own lettuce grown embraced by the mountains, in the Bohinj Valley. In Slovenia, integrated vegetable production in still somewhat of a novelty, however, at Union Hotels, we have been among the first to follow in the footsteps of good examples from abroad and started vegetable cultivation based on nature-friendly farming, which is increasingly valued both in Slovenia and elsewhere.

However, our care for the best possible quality does not end with growing our own vegetables. Locally grown vegetables in our hotel kitchens are supplemented with Ašič apple cider vinegar made from locally grown apples, which have matured in the tall-growing trees at old farms.

A Grain Mill Spinning Around, Spinning a Story…

… true to this we have found a special story in our very own Union’s grain mill and flaker, which we use to turn our guests’ breakfast into a proper culinary fairy tale. In fact, all breakfasts at Union Hotels feature a range of our own cereals and mueslis, which are included in many a food pyramid as the most recommended kind of breakfast foods. And what is more, our chefs have discovered another grain flaker’s secret and have recently even started using it to grind our own flour.
