Taste and use

This is what makes Sicilian organic pomegranates so special:

• Taste: Die Sorte «Molar» ist eine eher milde und süsse Granatapfelsorte.
• Quality features: Freshly harvested, straight into your hands. These pomegranates are completely untreated.
• Use: Pomegranate seeds go well in muesli, mixed with other fruits in a fruit salad or as a sweet and sour addition to cous cous. Pomegranates can easily be stored at room temperature for several days and even for several weeks in the fridge. The outer skin loses its moisture during storage and may become wrinkly. However, the seeds inside remain juicy.

Cultivation and ecology

This is how pomegranates are grown:

• Cultivation method: Organic farming.
• Producers: Pietro Scardino is a founding member of Valdibella. Together with his brother, he grows various grape varieties, pomegranates, apricots and much more on his farm. The grapes are harvested by hand by the family and local harvest workers. Valdibella uses the "Addio Pizzo" label to declare that they do not pay protection money to criminal organizations.
