News
We buy Top Quality Candonga^® strawberries directly from the consortium through one of our business partners. We package and distribute these in Central and Northern Italy. With the very first bite, Candonga^® strawberries give off an intense, fruity fragrance, followed by a perfectly balan-ced taste between acidic and sweet. The sugar content of strawberries is around 12 degrees Brix. Compared to other strawberries, this indicates the absence of the initial distinctly tart flavour typical of lower quality strawberries, without being excessively sweet.

They are processed in our facility, at Via Einstein 31, Stanghella (PD) Italy, where they are packaged in flow pack trays weighing 250 g or 500 gr, or wooden boxes weighing 1 kg. The packages are palletized based on the customer’s needs; we offer different types of carton sizes and colours. Customized labelling upon request.
