A
tiny seed, enclosed in a pellet of clay, planted in a little cube
of
earth, housed in a temperature-controlled nursery, unfolds to reveal
a tender shoot.
This is how the story of our horticultural production line begins
- one of the most innovative, comprehensive and sophisticated lines
to be found today. Planted in a cool greenhouse, the seed grows
and becomes stronger. Nurtured for just over a month, it transforms
into a luxuriant, crunchy head of tender lettuce.

Grown, selected, cut, washed and dried by specialised staff with
the aid of the most up to date and reliable equipment, it is packed
and sent to customers all over Italy and Europe.
Here in Mioorto, quality comes from paying special attention to
all operations through a totally controlled production line:
|
of the seeds, soils and
water used for irrigation
|
|
of the stages of grading, sorting,
cutting, washing and packing the product
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the hygiene, well-being
and safety of staff |
|
of cleaning and maintenance of equipment
|
|
of analysis of the water, the temperatures
in the produc-tion and storage rooms
|
|
of ongoing chemical and bacteriological
tests on random product samples, both for fresh vegetables
and pre-washed vegetables. |
|
during the stages of production, paying
special attention to the equipment and the product
|
|
|
|
of the continuous updating
of training for internal staff, using qualified teachers and
advisers, and suppliers of raw materials |
