HACCP or Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points,
is a set of procedures dedicated to preventing possible food contamination.
HACCP is based on the monitoring of food "processing points" where there is a risk of contamination, whether of a biological, chemical or physical nature. It is systematic and scientifically based; its purpose is to identify and analyze dangers and develop suitable systems for their control (in the sense of "regulation").
Promoting the concept of prevention, it analyzes the possible dangers that can be verified in each phase of the production process and in the subsequent phases such as storage, transport, conservation and sale.
In other words, this control aims to monitor the entire food production and distribution chain; the aim is to identify the phases of the process which may represent a critical point.
The system places an important emphasis on food quality, in particular with regard to safety; this concept goes beyond simple customer satisfaction, aiming at the protection of public health.
In order to respect the nature to which we owe so much, thanks to the commitment of our farmers and our agronomist, who help and direct them, our products are grown with the integrated pest management method.
This cultivation method provides for a drastic reduction (rationalization) in the use of pesticides.
Some of the precautions provided by this cultivation method that we put into practice are:
- the fight against harmful insects by inserting others that are their natural predators and that are not harmful to crops (biological fight);
- the fight against harmful insects through sexual confusion (use of pheromone diffusers);
- the use of more resistant crop varieties;
- the use of crop rotation;
- predicting the occurrence of conditions useful for the development of parasites, so as to use specific pesticides only when really needed.
- selective pesticides (which only eliminate insects harmful to the crop);
- pesticides that can be easily denatured by the biochemical action of the soil and the air;
