The fruits and vegetables are carefully selected processed and ready to become raw materials for quality foods. La Cesenate always selects the best for its bottled and canned food. Fruits and vegetables checked directly in the fields, and cultivated according to strictest regulations which govern organically-grown produce destined for the manufacture of baby-foods. Because all the fruits and vegetables are cultivated and worked using the newest and most up-to-the-minute technology, all are of such high quality they could be used in the production of baby-foods, meeting European regulations for food production to the full.
Canned and bottled foodstuffs produced this way can be adapted to the most varied needs of the customer. New recipes are continually being perfected in the laboratories of La Cesenate, to increase and renew its range of products.
The tomato used by La Cesenate for its own production is principally cultivated in the Mezzano Valley, in Emilia Romagna , an area particularly suitable for growing these highly fertile tomatoes. This land is rich in organic substances (containing 14% against the 1.5% normally found), making them ripen easily, to give naturally red, flavoursome tomatoes .
Only the best fruit, chosen and cultivated where it grows most healthily and flavoursome is used by La Cesenate for or its own products. Coming from fields in the most fertile regions in Italy, at the end of careful processing, involving the most up-to-date technology, the fruits are transformed into foodstuffs of the highest quality.
La Cesenate only uses the healthiest and tastiest vegetables, harvested on the best land. This land is often of volcanic origin, and therefore, rich in phosphorus and potassium, fundamental for taste and flavour.
The production processes at La Cesenate are aimed at preserving the natural quality of fruit and vegetables, through the use of advanced technology. The high level of automation reached means that large quantities of fruit and vegetables can be treated in a very short space of time, and consequently, their freshness maintained.
