This Earth Day, we want to introduce you to the people behind your food. Not the distributors, not the importers but the actual farmers and producers who wake up every morning in Italy and tend to their land with the kind of care that can only come from generations of knowledge. This month, we're highlighting eco-friendly products, sustainable packaging, and the hard working producers that make it all possible.
Read about some of our producers who value sustainability below.
- Kazzen: Founded in 2004 by the D'Ancona brothers with the mission to develop and preserve the native capers and agriculture of their home, the beautiful island of Pantelleria. Their production facility is situated right beside the growing fields so the fresh produce travels only meters to be processed. They use no preservatives or coloring in any of their products, most of which have only a few simple ingredients.
- Agricola Paglione: Agricola Paglione embodies values like quality, authenticity, craftsmanship, biodiversity and sustainability. Their efforts to promote sustainability and to preserve the integrity of their land extend to practices such as strict seasonal crop rotation and planting complementary fruit trees in their olive groves to encourage pollination from local bees.
