Vegetable Cultivation
The vegetables and greens from Casa Iuorio are grown following the principles of sustainable agriculture, respecting the natural cycles of the land and the seasons. The seeds come from native varieties, and the crops grow in healthy and natural environments without the use of greenhouses or other intensive farming methods. This is also part of our commitment to promoting local biodiversity. The crops are cultivated in open fields without chemical agents on our land in Palomonte (SA). Harvesting is done by hand, without the use of mechanical equipment.
Processing
After harvesting, we at Casa Iuorio personally handle the transformation process in our on-site workshop—a kind of large kitchen set amidst the fields, certified according to all hygiene and health regulations.
The vegetables are carefully selected, choosing only those at the perfect ripeness, washed under running water, and prepared by the skilled hands of trained local women. This is done immediately after harvesting. Even the jars are prepared by hand, right up to labeling.
