Many children do not like vegetables and even meat and fish are sometimes challenging for them, but there is a creative way to eat these foods: meatballs!
Meatballs are a superfood for children.
- The soft texture does not create problems with chewing and swallowing.
- The taste: extra virgin olive oil binds everything, rounds off the flavors and creates an even healthier dish.
- Versatility: you can change ingredients at any time, or colors, flavors, shape, so the children don’t get bored.
The meatballs are tasty and nutritious morsels and bring joy so, apart from any allergies, open the door to your imagination. 💡
We offer some of them made only vegetables, or meat-based, or even fish-based.
Meatballs for everyone 😋

- salmon and zucchini
The ingredients, once cleaned, must be chopped in the mixer by adding extra virgin olive oil 🫒, until you get a soft dough from which to obtain many balls of at least 3 cm.
You also need a nice baking tray to place the meatballs in, but before baking, you need to brush them with extra virgin olive oil. Once cooked in the oven, the meatballs remain soft and tasty.
You can serve them mixed, so as to make the meal of your children more varied, or choose a variant from time to time to get the palate used to the different flavors and help them develop his tastes, while providing foods with different nutritional properties.
It is not certain that all children will appreciate all types of meatballs, but parents will be very good at understanding which ones to prepare more often and which not to re-propose.
And in the meantime, extra virgin olive oil accompanies the growth of the little ones.

Sono Matteo Marconi, la mia è una famiglia di agricoltori. Sono cresciuto in azienda agricola e ho messo radici sempre più profonde in questo mondo fatto di cura e rispetto per la natura fin dall’adolescenza, iniziando a seguire le orme di mio padre con i primi lavori in campagna.
La mia giornata? Sveglia già all’alba a sfalciare l’erba tra i mie ulivi con un attento controllo delle piante che tratto con Spintor Fly, un insetticida biologico.
La fase più faticosa dell’anno ma anche la più attesa è la raccolta delle olive, in autunno, per ottenere l’olio extra vergine d’oliva di qualità superiore che produco e imbottiglio. In base al periodo dell’anno, mi occupo anche del fieno per i miei animali.
Sono giovane, ma grandemente coinvolto nelle attività dell’azienda di famiglia e il nome dell’olio che produco con tanta passione (e orgoglio) ne è chiara dimostrazione: Azienda Agricola Marconi Matteo. Nel logo c’è solo la lettera M, l’iniziale del mio nome e cognome, non per manie di protagonismo, ma perché ci metto davvero tutto Me stesso.
