Italian dry fruit producers devote mainly to the cultivation and processing of hazelnuts, almonds, nuts and to a small extent to pistachios. At one time, Italy was the world's premier in the production of dried fruits, while in recent years it has been accounted for by the decline in dry fruit producers in Italy. Therefore, Italian production does not seem to be adequate to meet our needs.
All this is an exception with the kernel production that has increased. Italy is one of the largest dry fruit consumers and as a consequence it is one of the largest importers without producing it to an adequate extent. The fact of the quality of the dried fruit we produce is envied and appreciated all over the world. For this reason, we suggest that you contact Italian dry fruit producers to be sure of the quality of the dried fruit we buy.
