Integrated Supply chain system

Phases

We cultivate the fields organically, without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

The olive groves are located on the Presilane Joniche Hills, within the PGI Olio di Calabria and PDO Bruzio area with an organic production.

The pepper fields are strictly outdoors, where we cultivate two native biodiversity: " naso di cane or roggianese " and "cornetto piccante ".

For two generations we have been raising and enhancing the native rough Black Pig of Calabria and the white PDO pig, outdoors under animal welfare regimes and without the use of antibiotics from birth.

The photovoltaic and biogas plants produce renewable energy, electricity and heat, which feeds the supply chain in full respect of the environment.

The three establishments deal with the processing of meat, the production of salted and sliced cured meats and cold cuts

The production lines are: Traditional Calabrian Cured Meats, PDO Calabrian Cured Meat, Black Pig Meats and Cold Cuts.

Raw material

CONTROLLED FROM THE ORIGIN

Traceability is the keyword of the entire Supply chain system, to guarantee the origin, quality and food safety.

All our products, from the pig’s feed to the spices that flavour Cured meats are from the Supply chain, made by raw materials controlled from the origin.

Production is strictly controlled on every single step, respecting healthiness and tradition.

Sustainability

Our Supply chain is ethical, sustainable and innovative

We promote Environmental Sustainability using renewable energies that make our production chain self-sufficient.

With our bio-digestion plant “BIOGAS” we produce 250 kWh of electrical and thermal energy, using all the residues of agricultural production which, through a perfect circular economy system, go back to the earth in the form of organic fertilizer and purified water.

1 MW

OF GREEN ENERGY

The installed PHOTOVOLTAIC SYSTEMS transform 750 kWh of solar energy into electricity. Being Green is the philosophy we have adopted and have been successfully pursuing for years.
