Last year, this firm started strong investments in the construction of 30 cold storage chambers with a storage capacity of 10,000 tons, consisting of natural conservation systems based on dynamic atmosphere technology
This technology consists in maintaining the apple at a temperature of approximately 0.5 ° C and an oxygen level that can vary between 0.4 and 1%, which leads to a slowing of the aging of the apple, which can lengthen its several months in perfect conditions of quality, as if it had just been harvested. This is, in short, the objective pursued by this company specialized in apple, its only product.
