Fruit / Pistachios
Kerman variety
Our over 25-year-old Kerman variety trees produce exceptional quality and grade pistachios. The Kerman variety, of Persian origin, is perfectly adapted to the climate and soil of La Mancha, guaranteeing a large, round fruit, with a very high pistachio/peel yield.We monitor the whole process
The cycle
Our agronomic engineers monitor the plant and the entire production cycle. A plantation where there are rootstocks from which the year grafts are selected, where fertigation is done in a controlled manner, where, as of the pruning stage, the annual growth of the buds is fixed, monitoring that the tree has the adequate cup development for collection, minimising product loss.
Harvesting
Carried out at the right moment of ripening, when the largest number of clusters reach a “rosewood” shade, these having the optimal weight and the best qualities for processing in the plant. The collection technique with canvas umbrella gets high-quality healthy fruits, because it avoids the contamination of pistachios through contact with the soil.
Processing
In the farm there is a processing plant where the pistachios are received at most 2h after they are collected, avoiding the proliferation of fungi that pistachio suffers after a few hours after its harvest. The cleaning process separates the fruits from the leaves. Afterwards, peeling and drying is done ensuring the preservation of all the organoleptic properties and the quality of pistachios. Subsequently, grades are classified, and open pistachios are separated from closed ones in our own classification plant.
