To bring the freshness of its salads from the field to the table every day, Mioorto implements a system based on the coordinated use of agronomic and crop protection practices, through continuous crop monitoring and the application of treatments whenever necessary.
This system follows rules and technical standards established by specific guidelines and current legislation.

Our fields are located in areas suited to specific crops, at different latitudes and altitudes, so as to maintain local and seasonal production. The new technological greenhouse system adapts in real time to temperature and light conditions, reducing emissions and water consumption, and ensuring consistent high-quality produce.
Some of the fields are also certified organic, with production based on the interaction between best environmental practices, a high level of biodiversity, the preservation of natural resources, and the delivery of products that meet the expectations of consumers seeking food grown using natural substances and processes.
We cultivate our vegetables during optimum climate conditions, using the most advanced technology that we have available. These include multi-span greenhouses with an automated shading system, which help us reduce water consumption and optimise the internal microclimate.
The choice of where to sow is the starting point of our supply chain. We have fields in every region of Italy, we sow at different latitudes and altitudes to ensure seasonal production and to guarantee fresh produce year round.
When the plants are ripe, we harvest them using vegetable harvesters that cut the salads and immediately place them into crates. These electrically powered machines do not emit any fumes that might affect how healthy the produce is.
The salads are selected, cut and washed immediately after harvest. They are dried in a dehumidified warm air tunnel ensuring a gently dried product. The salads are then immediately cooled to 4° in a blast chilling tunnel. They are finally packaged up in a very short time, which maintains the healthy qualities of freshly picked vegetables.
Our produce leaves our production sites every day, meaning it arrives fresh to your table, without ever interrupting the cold chain. Heading across Italy and Europe, all our deliveries comply with strict health and hygiene standards and loading, transport and unloading controls.
