AGRIMONTANA supplies chestnuts that are harvested from the very best
growing areas such as the Susa Valley (Turin Marron) and the Calore Valley
(Naples).
The finest chestnuts are steam-peeled and candied without SO2 (sulphur
dioxide), to produce a chestnut which has just the slightest hint of vanilla, with
no colouring agents or preservatives.
Agriland is the exclusive export distributor of Azienda Agrimontana S.p.A
which has rapidly become the leader in the Chestnut and Candied Fruit market
in Italy, boasting UNI EN ISO 9001- 2000 and 14001-96 quality certifications.

THE CHESTNUT
Agrimontana’s flagship product is the candied
marron chestnut in syrup as well as the traditional
Marron glacé sold in bulk or gift boxes.
Agrimontana is also renowned for its Extra Jams, its “Fruit+Fruit” compotes
(recipe with grape juice) as well as for its other candied fruits such as Amarena
sour cherries, Cherries, Apricots, Orange and Lemon Peel and Citrons.
The main reason for its success is the fact that Agrimontana has only ever
used natural ingredients, with no colouring agents, preservatives or artificial
flavourings.

The marron is a superior quality chestnut variety. Oval in shape and less
pointed, the skin is light with dense, often raised, stripes. It is tastier than
other chestnuts. In Italy these differences are recognised by law and by
several designation of origin labels.
The true “Marrone” is produced within a very limited regions in Italy:
-
Piedmont — the region of Cuneo and Turin (in the Susa Valley, where
Agrimontana buys all the production in collaboration with a local agricultural
cooperative)
- the Apennine mountains — between Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany
- Lazio — between Viterbo and Rome
In southern Italy, Campania is a major area for the production of renowned
large-calibre chestnuts such as the “Naples Marron”. Camania is also home to
the Calore Valley, an exclusive Agrimontana growing area.
Agrimontana’s know-how extends not only to the process of preserving
the fresh chestnut, but also to the peeling method.
The preservation process involves no chemicals but is based on an age-old
process long used by growers (called in Italian “curatura”) and scientifically
developed by Agrimontana.
After the Chestnuts are harvested they are soaked in water for several days.
This cleaning process comprises a fermentation, which is finished off in tuff
cellars or in specially air-conditioned warehouses.
Peeling is another phase which has been exclusively developed by Agrimontana,
which has created machines enabling the Chestnuts to be steam-peeled
without damaging them.
The Chestnuts are then immediately deep frozen in a flotation tunnel of air at
–40°C.
Agrimontana is present in all regions where chestnuts and other fruits are
grown, which enables the company to maintain strong ties with local growers.
Agrimontana also sources raw materials from other regions of Italy, thanks to
the excellent relations it has with producers in the south (purchase of citrus
and dried fruits from Calabria and Sicily).

DOMORI reigns supreme when it comes to making a difference:
Made uniquely with Aromatic cocoa beans, from Single Origins.
Since 2006, Azienda Agrimontana S.p.A. has been part of the Illy Group,
which comprises Illy coffee, Damman tea and Domori chocolate companies.
Agrimontana’s association with such a dynamic group focused on the excellence
of its products enables Agriland to complete its professional range.
“Couvertures” and other chocolate products in keeping with Domori’s unique
philosophy: controlled supply chain from the plantations, pure varieties of cocoa
from carefully selected plants (aromatic cocoa beans only, Criollos, Trinitarios
and Nacional), followed by fermentation and drying of the beans, low-impact
roasting-grinding-refining-conching thanks to low temperatures and flexibility
of the process that requires fewer cycles.

NOUVEAUTÉ
DOMORI : spotlight
on MOROGORO
MOROGORO, of Tanzanian origin, the latest addition
to the DOMORI range of chocolate “couvertures”.
MOROGORO is the perfect “couverture” thanks to its neutral taste is good for
many different uses and completes well the Domori professional range.
It is a Trinitario with the typical taste of cocoa without any of the flaws of
the Forastero (acidity, bitterness, astringency, etc.).
Its aromatic profile is unique and perfectly suited to dark chocolate.
100%, 68% and 56% offer spicy and woody notes
38% milk chocolate provides a primary note of cocoa
