Sicilian citrus fruit

Years and years of work and experience have taught us how important the care, the mecolosità and the respect of the times of maturation of our products. Quality always comes first.

The production is located at the foot of Etna, characterized by a high temperature range between day and night, gives our citrus fruits a unique taste and appearance: the red pigmentation of the orange is given by this particular microclimate as attested by the IGP mark.

We produce 14 varieties of oranges, with different ripening times able to guarantee a production from December to May and two varieties of lemons. About three thousand tons are harvested every year.

Together with the agronomist Lorenzo Frasson we take care of and respect the environment with sustainable cultivation techniques, from irrigation systems to reduce water waste, to cutting-edge phytosanitary treatments. Our agricultural machinery is subject to software updates and replacement with new models.

PHYSIC

It deals with the creation in Sicily of short supply chains for the production of oil and hemp flour, the cultivation of hemp as a renewal crop can be in the “predesertic” Sicilian environment a viable alternative in rotation with cereals.

FERTIMED

He studies the use of digestate, which is obtained from the waste of biomethane plants from biomass, as a fertilizer in citrus and prickly pear crops. The use of digestate as a fertilizer improves and integrates the organic substance of the soil and therefore fertility.

Co.S.Mo

Studies the development in Sicily of the supply chain of monococco wheat ( also known as spelt) today due to the use of wheat with high content in gluten, necessary for processing industries for the processing of flour, various food intolerances have developed. Monoccoco wheat is rich in fiber and protein and represents a valid alternative to traditional flours for a correct diet.
