"We focus on freshness at our orchard by carefully tending to over 15,000 citrus trees to guarantee top-quality fruits with the best flavor."
I SAPORI DI SIBARI, LIDIA ELIA AGRICULTURAL COMPANY, SIBARI, CALABRIA, ITALY
“Our citrus fruits are sweet and juicy because they grow in fertile, sun-kissed soil in the heart of Calabria cradled by the sea breeze and love of our family and team.”
“We want you to know the history of what you eat, the direct sales model of the Lidia Elia farm allows you to get back in touch with the origin of what you consume. In addition, you ensure that you receive a fresh and quality product, which does not go through intermediaries or cold rooms that affect its flavor.”
“Clementines, as well as several other citrus fruits, thanks to the presence of the antioxidant hesperidin, protect cells from oxidizing agents, reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease.”
Lidia Elia founded an agricultural company in 2015 with over 50 years of experience in growing citrus fruits. The company, named "I Flavors of Sibari," is located in Calabria, Italy. Lidia's husband, Giuseppe Pulignano, passed on his love for farming to her, inherited from his father Salvatore Pulignano. Together, they cultivate mandarins in the sunny plain of Sibari. Their children are also involved in the family business. The goal is to optimize the land for growing various citrus fruits. They work with 14 different varieties, including clementines, oranges, lemons, bergamot and grapefruits. Every year, they introduce new varieties to have a unique harvest from September to spring. They prepare the plants for the new growing season once production ends.
