Flat peaches are peaches in the characteristic squashed shape with a smaller stone and a sweet intense taste. It is an ancient species, recently updated and evaluated, and it is having great sales success. Flat nectarines are the same apart from the fact that they have velvety skin, and they are similar in appearance as the nectarines.

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.
