Cutting-edge technologies to guarantee the quality of the products obtained
The plant rises on an area of approximately 13.000 mq, enclosed in one of the richest areas of citrus plantations that overlooks the Strait of Messina, where it’s possible to find the best Calabrian citrus cultivations.
It’s provided with systems totally made of stainless steel in compliance with hygienic and sanitary standards which guarantee the absolute quality of obtained products.

PASTEURIZATION AND CONCENTRATION
The juice deprived of pulp is pasteurized and then concentrated through evaporation by two concentration systems having a total working capacity of 25.000 l/h of natural juice.
STORAGE
The obtained product, after having furthermore been subjected to quality control, is stored in stainless steel tanks within refrigerators, waiting to be packed for delivery to customers.
