Study and production, for us at Sant'Orsola, always go hand in hand. We are specialized technicians, with a great passion for our work. Like the one that accompanies our producers, every day. We owe this recipe of technique and passion to the study and continuous innovation of our Research & Development department, which works in the countryside. This is where the knowledge and care that are transferred to producers are nourished, to allow them to obtain the best productions, in compliance with the techniques, cultivations and regulations that govern our sector. Our commitment is always the same: to continually improve the quality of our small fruits, of the work in the countryside, of the health of the crops, of the workers and of the territory. Only in this way can we deliver excellent quality products to you, who choose us. 90% of Sant'Orsola production is protected by covers, which help us defend our plants from rain and humidity. In this way, we protect them from the risk of contracting diseases that should be treated with phytosanitary products. In addition, any treatments on our plants permitted by the regulations are contained under the covers, greatly limiting their drift. All the cover sheets, at the end of their excellent work, are disposed of and recycled in accordance with the law. We strongly believe in innovation, in its being full of novelty and improvement. In all these years, we have developed agronomic techniques that have allowed us to redevelop agricultural areas , and recover lands that would have been abandoned. All this respecting the crops, the quality of the product, the work and the workers. Our small fruit productions are regulated by the “Disciplinare di Lotta Integrata Sant'Orsola”, compliant with the national guidelines of “Produzione Integrata”, which guarantees a lower environmental impact and a highly reduced use of phytosanitary treatments (70% lower than the limits imposed by law). In the blueberry and raspberry fields of our producers in Sicily, Calabria and Marche, we have also managed to reach an important milestone: the Zero Residue certification. The Sant'Orsola production system is certified in compliance with international quality standards, with the GLOBAL GAP certifications, for good agricultural practices, and GRASP, for worker health and safety. Furthermore, since 2020 our environmental management system has been certified in compliance with the ISO 14001 regulation.
