Very interesting research is currently being carried out on the new varieties of yellow and red flesh kiwi, which have a unique taste, their quality is similar to that of the green flesh kiwi, but they have a more intense taste. The new versions will soon be available and they will certainly increase the current commercialised volume.
The Giant Red, Firm Red and other varieties that we are testing have lots of potential particularly for large scale distribution, considering the success they have obtained; they are distinguished for their optimum calibre and for their incomparable taste. The Piedmontese production is absolutely remarkable.
Furthermore, RKG represents a group of American producers in Europe: these cherries are available on our markets when the European production is already over; the flavour value of this fruit increases consumption every year.
The objective of our Project that started ten years ago is to attain the highest quality.
Varieties that belong to the COT group, which have a great flavour, and a high degree Brix have been chosen; specific organoleptic characteristics and an impeccable appearance. Our apricots grow in Italy (400 ha), Spain (150 ha) and Tunisia (100 ha); in this way it is possible to increase the supply and prolong it for several months. The fruit is harvested at the perfect moment of ripeness to guarantee a top class taste for consumers. The overall production amounts to nearly 9000 tons and it is mainly commercialized through large scale distribution.
Apricots contain the highest levels of potassium, carotene and vitamin A; they are very nutritious and easy to digest.
There is a lot of excitement about the production of seedless lemons. This fruit has an excellent Brix/ acid ratio, selected after thorough field research. In this way lemons with an extraordinarily agreeable taste with an absolutely balanced acidity level can be obtained. Probably, it is one of the most interesting novelties in the field of citrus fruit growing and for our country.
We have the exclusive rights to represent Surexport Italy, one of the major Spanish producers of strawberries and small red berries: raspberries, blackberries, blueberries. This group also has the exclusive rights of use for the Plant Sciences’ selected varieties, an internationally acknowledged research centre Plant Sciences, which uses traditional and innovative hybridizing techniques, and has managed to produce varieties that have an excellent flavour, with an even shape and optimum calibre, resistance to parasites and diseases and high productivity. RKG even markets fruit originating from new Italian cultivations, in particular Piedmontese.
Apples are the most important fruit dealt with by RKG; some brands, like Rivoira, are leaders on the European, Arab, Latin American and North African markets. Commercialized varieties are mainly the Gala, Red Delicious, Golden, Granny Smith, but our main pride and joy is the Ambrosia: the only Italian apple, grown exclusively from Piemontese and Cuneo. The Rivoira Group has obtained the production and commercialization rights in European for Ambrosia. This apple is the sweetest and it has great flavour qualities; it is ideal for children. In Italy the Esselunga network has exclusive rights over its distribution, it sells Ambrosia juice, apples squashed and turned into sweet drinks without any additives: the ideal snack for a balanced diet.
