Organic PomegranateJuice

The juice of the European organic pomegranate is produced in Greece from pomegranates of the Wonderful variety that are cultivated from October to April, with special care, by experienced organic farmers. The Wonderful variety is the most widespread variety worldwide and consists of large fruits with a sweet-sour taste.

Organic farming

European organic pomegranates, which are the basis for the production of pomegranate juice in Greece, are grown using organic farming methods that exploit the mechanisms of nature itself.

Organic pomegranate The history

Since antiquity, the pomegranate has been historically associated with the Egyptian, Roman and other important civilisations, as well as with religious traditions as evidenced by references in the Old Testament, the Koran and the Babylonian Talmud. Extensive references to the pomegranate are also present in the texts of Greek and Persian mythology.
