Agricola Conte
” Food is the essence of life, if we want a quality life we must have a product of excellence.”
A COMPANY BORN FROM AN EXPERIENCE IN THE SECTOR, A PHILOSOPHY AND MANY PROJECTS
On a total surface of more than 50 hectares, the reality is located in Veneto in the province of Verona, born in the 90s following an evolution, brought by a passion for the land and mainly following a thirty year experience of the owner as an agricultural expert specialized in the asparagus sector. Over the years the company has developed and specialized on a single product, L’ASPARAGO. Today, more than 30 years later, the agricultural company Conte has an important production reality, becoming one of the largest asparagus production companies in northern Italy. The reclaimed lands, very fertile and rich in water, are of alluvial origin. All the product supplied by the company is totally of its own production and it is not under any circumstances purchased by third parties, in order to have full control over quality.
As soon as they are harvested, the asparagus are immediately refreshed and, once they arrive at the farm, they are washed with water at a temperature of 0 ° C so that they can maintain the quality and most easily preserved characteristics, then they are processed and selected.
Following continuous research over the years, has drastically limited the use of antiparasitic products, the contribution of nutrients has been almost totally replaced by the chemical to the organic, thus ensuring a healthy product, enhancing its organoleptic and gustatory characteristics, which are fully recognized by consumers. The owner Claudio Conte, 53, is also the founder and current Director of the Consortium of Valorisation of the Asparagus of Verona founded in 1999 made up of 25 producers and a cooperative of about 50.
