Nature at heart

Rigoni di Asiago has based its activity on producing from organic farming. Starting with honey, the company successfully proceeded onto making Fiordifrutta jams, the natural sweetener DolceDì, Nocciolata chocolate and hazelnut spread and most recently, Fruttosa ready-to-eat fruit dessert. RdA works with nature for nature. By choosing organic food, producing or eating it in the long term means sustaining nature's reserves. It means protecting ourselves and future generations. Rigoni di Asiago made this choice many years ago.

Organic products

Rigoni di Asiago, guided by an infinite love of nature, only works with organically farmed fruit which must also be beneficial to the consumer. To achieve this they respect the following standards:
• wholesome, with a superior flavour and bouquet;
• trustworthy, produced from uncontaminated raw materials.

Apart from providing the consumer with a wholesome, tasty and healthy product, organic farming hardly has any impact on the environment, minimizes gas consumption as well as limiting greenhouse-gas emissions caused by chemical degradation. By following the model of sustainable development, organic farming avoids excessive use of both soil and water. To summarize, by buying organic products such as RdA, you are contributing to improving our environment.

Taking care of the environment

RdA makes every effort to ensure their production and economic development are compatible and sustainable to the environment.
During farming and processing cycles RdA has applied several eco-friendly solutions:
• Co-generation plant at Foza (production of hot water + electric energy from methane gas);
• machinery for both jam and honey processing works at low temperatures, therefore low energy consuming.
• Solar energy panels at the Asiago offices and Foza processing plant with plans underway for the Verona warehouses.
