About Us
Cooperative Agricultural Society
We are a Cooperative Agricultural Society in Costigliole Saluzzo (CN) that produces, processes and packages fresh fruit from Piedmont, grown on the slopes of Monviso by people who are passionate about the land and good fruit.
We have two separate warehouses for their function, located in the towns of Costigliole Saluzzo and Verzuolo, which are efficient, modern and attentive to customer needs.
Creating synergy is important to us, which is why we are among the founders of the Joinfruit OP in Verzuolo.
Being part of our cooperative means having daily technical assistance with timely and scheduled visits, support for designing new plants and developing new production technologies.
A management service with storage and frigoconservation of nursery material and also a team of skilled people who follow the product from field to plant with certified work processes.
