2012
Today
We started the agricultural project in 2017 on an area of 50 hectares, which has grown year by year. Today we have an almond orchard of 250 hectares and we continue developing new surfaces.
5 varieties* of
100% sweet almond
We work our lands using an innovative agricultural system: the organic method applied to a semi-intensive farming – 450-800 plants per hectare – with a remote-control irrigation system. Thanks to this system we grow 5 varieties of 100% sweet almond for the industrial processing.
We are the sole farmers for Shasta® in Italy, a highly productive variety, with a high shelling yield and excellent organoleptic characteristics due to its bitter-free taste.
biodiversity
We have started an inter-row polyculture project, to further promote biodiversity and the balance of the ecosystem: the cultivation of vegetables and other plants among the rows of almond trees.
innovation
Combining the organic and regenerative farming with the technological and agronomic innovation allows us to respect the air, water and soil where are planted our almond trees and to ensure quality, safety, high yields and certainty of supplies.
