PROCESSING, PRODUCTION AND LOGISTICS

Complete control of the production and supply chain ensures the high quality of Rigoni di Asiago products. The chain is supervised by the operation centre of Asiago, which is responsible for the strategic management of the business.

The production site is located among the pristine green mountains of the Asiago Plateau: about 6,000 tonnes of fruit are processed here each year.

The entire cycle is automated and controlled by state-of-the-art technology; all the steps are recorded to ensure traceability of the raw ingredients used.

The finished product is then stored at the logistics centre in Albaredo d’Adige (Verona), which was expanded in 2017 to cope with the growing demand. In 2018, a new production site with state-of-the-art equipment and technology was opened here.

A COMMITMENT TO ORGANIC

Rigoni di Asiago has always processed its own raw materials ingredients, which come from their own farms or from trusted beekeepers who have long-term exclusive agreements with us. All crops and hives are organic and subject to strict controls multiple times a year.

Italian farmers and beekeepers are our suppliers of Italian honey and Mediterranean fruit such as oranges, lemons, mandarins, peaches and apricots, figs, plums, and cherries.

Our own organic crops, however, are in Bulgaria: this is where much of the high-quality fruit needed to make Fiordifrutta comes from, thanks also to the particularly favourable climate. All crops and farms in Bulgaria are supervised by Italian agronomists who specialise in organic farming.

We receive more than 5,500 tons of fruit per year, including strawberries, wild berries, blackberries, bilberries, wild blueberries, visciole sour cherries, raspberries, currants, gooseberries, apples, blueberries, and sloes.

A COMMITMENT TO NATURE

Quality checks and controls to bring the best to your table.

Our production takes place in pristine areas with a favourable climate. Like all organic products, we do not add flavourings or chemical additives. Our products are good by nature.

WE SUPPORT A NEW FORM OF DEVELOPMENT

Choosing organic means to undertake a journey towards sustainable development, with the aim of reducing the environmental impact of production, limiting the consumption of fossil fuel and avoiding the intensive use of land and water. The investments made in this sense testify to Rigoni di Asiago's commitment: the production facilities include a cogeneration plant, capable of generating simultaneously electricity and heat, reducing the fuel consumption by 50%. The entire production operates with low power consumption: all the energy used is from renewable sources (wind), and the water used is recirculated only after being treated and purified. A photovoltaic system has been installed at the Albaredo d'Adige plant. In addition, the Carbon Footprint study was carried out to measure the carbon footprint of the entire life cycle of 3 representative products, analysing supply of resources, processing and distribution, usage and end-of-life for each.

FAQ

1 – Why are your products contained in octagonal pots jars?

Rigoni di Asiago has always sold its products in octagonal jars; it’s a shape that sets us apart and makes our products recognisable on the shelves, and we just love it.

2 – Where do your raw ingredients come from?

The raw ingredients (fruit) selected by Rigoni di Asiago, depending on the type, may come from Italy (we have agreements with organic farmers, e.g.: citrus fruits from Sicily, peaches and apricots from Emilia Romagna, etc.) or from our farms in Bulgaria, where crops are under the supervision of Italian agronomists specialising in organic agriculture. Because all of our fruit is organic, it is much more dependent on the season, and therefore the availability of our raw ingredients varies depending on the time of year.

Some types of fruit (e.g.: berries, strawberries, wild berries etc…) come from our own Bulgarian farmlands, especially the fruit that grows spontaneously in mountainous areas, such as wild blueberries. Years ago our company could not find the necessary plots of land here in Italy, and in order to have a total control of the supply chain we purchased land abroad, after testing and certifying it for organic farming; these lands, under the careful management of expert Italian agronomists, provide some of the fruit that we use to produce our jams. The areas to be used for organic farming must not have been farmed for a long time, located in traffic-free areas, have pure aquifers… It was not easy to find farmland with these characteristics, and we found it in Bulgaria.

How and how long can Fiordifrutta be stored for?

Fiordifrutta is an organic fruit preparation with a low sugar content coming only from fruit, and it does not contain preservatives.
Due to its natural properties, the product after opening is stored in the refrigerator. Although we do not guarantee our Fiordifrutta for a specified period of time after they are opened, by storing an open jar with the cap tightly closed in your refrigerator, our products should last for several weeks without a problem. Here are some tips for having a longer shelf life:

Do not leave the jar in the open air for long, and avoid too many sudden changes of temperature
Do not take the jam out with a used spoon or knife to avoid possible contamination with other foods
Always take the jam from the top
Check that the refrigerator temperature is not higher than 4°

Why does Nocciolata sometimes have small lumps?

Nocciolata is an organic and 100% natural product. Lumps are a product of the fats used in the preparation of our spread, sunflower oil and cocoa butter. They are natural, non-chemically modified fats that tend to maintain their natural physical properties. Cocoa butter is an unrefined fat which, at low temperatures, tends to return to its natural physical state by crystallising, until it reaches a solid state; this causes the “lumps”. This crystallization is a completely natural process that does not affect the quality of the product. Lumps melt easily by keeping the jar at room temperature (about 24-25°C) and stirring the product a little.
It is the same phenomenon that is often found in chocolate or chocolates.
To prevent this natural phenomenon, we have added a “maturation” phase (or a period of rest at a controlled temperature) in our process, to stabilise the structure of the product as much as possible.

What does “unheated/raw honey” mean?

Mielbio does not undergo any kind of overheating throughout its supply chain and is processed at room temperature. In this way all the natural and organoleptic properties of honey are preserved at best.

What is the difference between crystallised honey and creamy honey?

All honey crystallises sooner or later, even the varieties we usually find in a liquid state; it’s just a matter of time.
Honey crystallisation is a natural process that depends on its sugar content (mainly glucose-fructose ratio)
temperature
viscosity (water content).
Thanks to our company’s expertise in honey production, we have developed a process to homogenise honey’s crystals, making it smooth and creamy, perfect for spreading and delicious to the palate.
