The brand mission and philosophy centre around promoting this unique product to the utmost, with the aim of not only fulfilling but even exceeding the expectations of customers and consumers in terms of its flavour, quality, value and sustainability.

Discover a new all-Italian take on kiwifruit. Its bright green colour, juiciness, its sweetest and most balanced taste is the fruit of Italian research and agricultural tradition. Its balanced flavour ensures top satisfaction with every bite: the harmonious blend between sweetness and underlying acidity characterizes its unique taste, given by a high level of dry matter and by an average Brix degree which is consistently high. The new AC 459-11 kiwifruit variety is the result of the collaboration amongst New Plant, academic research and three main Producer organisations from the Emilia-Romagna region.
The Alegra member potato farmers form part of the Italian Quality Potatoes Association that promotes the “Selenella” potato.
