Apples are the most important fruit dealt with by RKG; some brands, like Rivoira, are leaders on the European, Arab, Latin American and North African markets. Commercialized varieties are mainly the Gala, Red Delicious, Golden, Granny Smith, but our main pride and joy is the Ambrosia: the only Italian apple, grown exclusively from Piemontese and Cuneo. The Rivoira Group has obtained the production and commercialization rights in European for Ambrosia. This apple is the sweetest and it has great flavour qualities; it is ideal for children. In Italy the Esselunga network has exclusive rights over its distribution, it sells Ambrosia juice, apples squashed and turned into sweet drinks without any additives: the ideal snack for a balanced diet.
Origin
Dorì is a variety of yellow pulpy actinidia, characterized by the depth of the colour, the intense flavor and the precocity. This new variety is the result of several years of research at the Universities of Udine and Bologna.
The shape, size, colour and flavour of pears vary a lot according to the variety. They are rich in simple sugars, above all fructose; their high potassium content makes them suitable for low sodium diets. This fruit helps regulate blood pressure and it helps to lower cholesterol.
