Characteristics
A good reason to wait for winter is definitely the arrival of the citrus season to be able to delight yourself with a healthy juice in the morning or to take a break during the day. A healthy drink full of beneficial properties especially if prepared at home and drunk at the moment. We carefully select Bergamots and Oranges at the right degree of ripeness to ensure that the acidic and particular taste of bergamot is well balanced by the sweetness that characterizes our oranges.
The box set is composed of
- 5kg Organic Calabrian Bergamot
-
5kg organic Calabrian oranges, Navellina or Tarocco variety
Advice
Prepare it fresh every day with 1 organic bergamot and 1 organic orange. Our fruits arrive on your table very fresh and last a long time (in the fridge up to 40 days).
For ideas on how to use the peels, see the recipes on our blog to inspire you. You can make healthy juices, learn how to use it to enhance the taste of sweet dishes (e.g. candied fruit , jams), savoury dishes and an excellent digestive ( Bergamino )
Ripening period
The harvest lasts from October to March
The "digital supply chain" is a model of sustainability
Ours is a digital model that does not only mean getting directly from the producer to the consumer, but a way of doing things that has an impact on our sustainability and on the quality of the products that we manage to bring to your table. You will feel the difference!
Sustainable for the environment
Avoiding remunerating all the intermediate steps of the traditional supply chain (often only commercial) helps to make the price to the consumer more transparent and allows the farm to allocate the right resources to practice sustainable agriculture.
Social and cultural sustainability
The digital supply chain has a concrete impact on the territory, not only economically! It means being able to provide work for (logistics, social media, marketing, etc.), but also having links with institutions, associations, people to whom we turn to communicate our model with educational, social or pure entertainment activities ( see HERE ).
Sustainability for the farm
Skipping the intermediate steps also means having direct contact with the customer trying to explain what the value of your product is, which being 100% organic sometimes is not perfect on the outside but it is on the inside. This also helps to minimize waste (i.e. the non-perfect products that the GDO would throw away)
Sustainability for the consumer
It allows access to quality products at the right price, with greater guarantees. The customer "looks in the face" directly those who have sweated to produce and those who put in the effort every day to produce have every interest in having a satisfied customer. All this is now impossible in the "impersonal" model of the GDO
FRESH, SEASONAL AND TASTY
Short supply chain is synonymous with freshness and quality that can be perceived between a fruit that arrives at your home within 48 hours of harvesting ripened in the sun of the Riviera dei Gelsomini instead of the 5/7 days of a fruit harvested a little later in ripening to last longer than the traditional supply chain
Fresh and perfectly ripe products
Our products are picked fresh and above all naturally ripened in the sun of the Riviera dei Gelsomini: you will taste the flavour!
Seasonal Fruits and Typical Local Varieties
We have decided to recover old varieties that have now been commercially abandoned in favor of standardized ones that are more suitable for large-scale retail trade processing, often to the detriment of the taste and quality of the products.
