More than six years ago the decision was made to convert the greenhouses for growing salads into edible flower production; the product is grown soilless in substrate bins to facilitate the manual harvest; we produce about 16 varieties of edible flowers in over 40 colors on over 30,000 square meters of greenhouses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The flowers are not organic only because they are grown off the ground and the current organic legislation does not allow this practice. We produce 12 months a year thanks to the protected cultivation, the greenhouses are heated during the winter and shaded during the hot summer periods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
After harvesting, the flowers are placed directly inside r-PET trays (RECYCLED PLASTIC) which allow them to be kept for over 10 days after harvest if properly stored in the refrigerator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The product is shipped in a few hours from the harvest to the main Italian fruit and vegetable markets, to various national and European large-scale retailers and through our online shop; two years ago we implemented the transformation of the flower through the use of a Swiss patented dehydrator that works at a temperature below 30 \u00b0 C and allows the product to maintain color and shape. The process lasts an average of 36 hours and a product with a residual level of humidity between 2\/3% is obtained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main consumers of flowers are operators in the ho.re.ca world who use it in \u201cgourmet\u201d preparations of cooking and pastry and as a natural \u201cgarnish\u201d in the world of cocktails and mixing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
