Agricola Baraldo is a producer of white and green Pernumia asparagus that obediently respects the main production standards such as the compulsory HACCP system, that is a set of procedures aimed at guaranteeing the healthiness of food, based on prevention. Moreover, it practices integrated pest management, a practice of crop protection which provides a drastic reduction in the use of pesticides.
In this way is guaranteed a production of asparagus absolutely healthy and free from any chemical residue.
As soon as it is harvested, asparagus is immediately refrigerated and, once at the company base, it is washed with 0°C temperature water, so that its qualitative characteristics are kept unchanged and it can be more easily preserved.
Once the shoots are washed, they are processed mechanically to allow a perfect cleanliness and precise cutting to prevent oxidation.
The grading is done electronically in order to promptly eliminate any production waste or asparagus not suitable for consumption.
