What is organic?
A product is considered organic when it has obtained the certificate from an organization authorized by the ministry of a European country, in our case Bioagricert (you can find us on the website in the "CERTIFIED COMPANIES" section by entering company code R35R).
The European Community and the national governments that are part of it have in fact long since precisely defined (regulation EC 837/2007 and 848/2018) what organic production methods consist of, thus giving legal value to the related certificates.
In summary, to sell products with organic certification, the land must not have been treated in the past with harmful chemical substances and must be far from possible sources of pollution. In addition, the plants must be of certified organic origin and cultivated according to strict protocols regarding fertilization and pest control to ensure the exclusive use of certified natural products.
The certifications are valid for three years and an annual inspection is required. In the last inspection we obtained the renewal of the certification until 2026.
Why organic?
The periodic renewal of certifications confirms the soundness of our initial choice to strictly follow the vocation of our land, in the literal sense of the term. In fact, the land at Ca' Donato is naturally suited to the cultivation of small fruits, without the need to intervene in any way on the chemical-physical composition of the soil.
We therefore continue according to one of the principles that guided the founding of the company, namely the desire to contribute to the development of territorial agriculture that is sustainable from an environmental and economic point of view. In fact, organic production lends itself well to local distribution and provides freshness and quality to the consumer, while at the same time remaining sufficiently profitable for the producer.
Thanks to natural cultivation methods, it is possible to guarantee the genuineness of the product, with obvious benefits in terms of flavor and health. The price to pay is, of course, a lower production quantity compared to intensive farming or, at times, some imperfection, resulting from the naturalness of the product.
