At Don Alfonso, it’s all about the ingredients.
Le Peracciole Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2024 is a staple in our kitchen — cold-pressed from organic groves in Punta Campanella and a refined blend of Nocellara del Belice, Frantoio, Minucciola and Rotondella olives.
Fragrant and expressive, it brings notes of artichoke, wild herbs, green tomato and a subtle finish of sweet almond.
A cornerstone of our cuisine, it’s used to elevate your seasonal dishes at Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto.

On Earth Day, we return to where it all begins.
At Don Alfonso 1890, Chef ’s urban farm at Casa Loma is more than a source; it’s a philosophy. Three years ago, we transformed part of the estate’s historic gardens into a working farm, bringing it back to its original purpose of growing food for the table.
Today, it supplies nearly all of our microgreens and herbs, and a significant portion of our seasonal produce—allowing our kitchen to stay deeply connected to nature and the rhythm of the seasons.
This hyper-local approach reduces our environmental footprint while shaping a more thoughtful, responsive way of cooking, where ingredients are often harvested steps from the kitchen—and ultimately come to life on Don Alfonso 1890’s MICHELIN-starred menu.
One that values seasonality, sustainability, and the beauty of letting nature lead. In the heart of Toronto, this level of self-sufficiency is rare, but it’s what makes it meaningful.
This Earth Day, we celebrate what gives so generously.
