The digital controls are also followed by the checks carried out in the internal laboratories. Our specialized team analyzes almonds in depth. Food safety is, in fact, our first goal.

In fact, we supply the major food and confectionery industries in Italy and Europe and each one has different requests and needs. Satisfying them is our job.
