Val Venosta: Apples’ home

The perfect mix makes the best apples

One apple likes everything to be fresh and dry. And not only during storage, but also when growing. But this alone is not enough to be among the best. You also need the ideal location, lots of sun and passionate farmers, who give everything every day. It should not be surprising that our Val Venosta apples are truly first class in flavour and quality!

The location
A fertile place
 
The location
The Venosta Valley seems to be predestined for the apples farming. Its location could not be better after all.

In the production areas, which are at a height between 500 and 1,000 m, Val Venosta apples feel particularly good. In this environment, their needs are met optimally.

Microclimate
A lot of sun, little rain, sometimes warm and then very cold again, that's how Val Venosta apples like it. No wonder they are so sweet and have such a strong colour.

Temperature fluctuations
When it's hot during the day and cool during the night, that's good for our apples. Pests have no chance and apples can mature very comfortably.

What may sound contradictory makes sense in apple farming. When the temperature drops below zero in the spring, our farmers activate frozen irrigation. The flowers are wrapped in ice and are saved from freezing.
