IGP Apples of Valtellina

This type of apple has all the characteristics of mountain apple: crunchy, fragrant, aromatic and juicy

In Lombardy, apples are grown in the province of Sondrio. Valtellina apples, rich in vitamins with a unique fragrance, are highly appreciated by consumers in search of wholesome foods.

Local farmers, well versed on the benefits of the latest farming technologies, have invested in modern production plants. Furthermore, an increasing number of growers are complying with production regulations that limit the use of chemical products and reduce treatments to the minimum.
