Our oranges are grown in Grotte (AG) with organic production methods.
Our orange groves grow with the help of appropriate agronomic practices (green manure, burial of pruning residues, natural fertilizer, etc.) in respect of biodiversity and the whole ecosystem.
Organic oranges are an excellent source of vitamins, primarily Vitamin C and A: in fact, to meet the daily needs of Vitamin C it is sufficient to consume two a day.
Lemons
The philosophy of the Tenute Racalmare farm aims at 100% natural production and marketing: all the lemons have matured under the sun, without resorting to genetic forcing: the only fertilizers and pesticides used are those that are found in nature completely compatible with the natural cycle of plants.
Walnuts
Walnuts are those types of fruit that, through a natural drying process (in the sun), are deprived of most of the water. The company produces and sells organic walnuts: of very valuable varieties with a thin shell and a high yield of kernel.
The nuts are sold loose with different calibers.
Herbs
Rosemary is one of the most fragrant and resistant aromatic plants.
Being dry, sandy and stony places its natural habitat, it prefers dry and alkaline soils. Rosemary loves the sun and the heat, so our crops, managed in compliance with the organic certification, are located in very sunny places and protected in winter by the cold wind.
Sage. Tenute Racalmare farm stands at 700 meters above sea level, in the uncontaminated environment of Contrada Racalmare in the countryside of Grotte (AG) in Sicily.
The climate of high hills, the purity of the air, the quality of the land and water, make this territory the ideal place for the cultivation of products that are the symbol of agriculture of excellence in Sicily.
In the Costanza family the passion for agriculture has been handed down from father to son, giving life to a company that first produced mainly wine, oil and cereals, but which for some years has been innovating and expanding its productions with the rediscovery of more characteristic aromatic plants of the Mediterranean such as sage and rosemary.
