With the arrival of summer, the seedless table grape season, one of the most eagerly anticipated in the organic sector, gets underway in southeastern Spain. And this year, it is doing so with promising prospects, both in terms of production and sales.
For Toñifruit, a company from Murcia specializing in high value-added organic fruit, the organic white and red seedless table grape season usually kicks off at the end of June. "The first batches are already delivering excellent quality. The fruit is firm, sweet and balanced and has a good size and color thanks to particularly favorable weather conditions during the spring", says the company's manager, Juan Antonio Martínez.
"The season is going well, both in terms of volume and quality. The natural environment where we grow, combined with proper soil management and the plant's balance, results in a flavor that is highly appreciated by our clients."
The campaign will run throughout the summer, with deliveries to the main European markets. Spain is one of the countries where this fruit has gained most prominence among consumers looking for healthy, intensely-flavored products. Toñifruit grapes are certified under the Bio and GlobalG.A.P. standards, which guarantees their quality from field to the point of sale.
More than fruit: A healthy experience
"This year, the company has strengthened its commitment to innovation and sustainability with the expansion of its packaging line with machinery adapted to ecological and recyclable packaging. But innovation doesn't stop at the packaging. Toñifruit's technical team has designed an agronomic management system aimed at boosting the natural probiotic profile of grapes, to improve not only their shelf life, but also their health benefits for the consumer."
In its farms, located in a privileged area of the Region of Murcia, surrounded by natural spaces, Toñifruit has consolidated its position as an organic table grape producer delivering fruit with a long post-harvest shelf life, crunchy texture "and an organoleptic experience that meets the latest trends in Europe in terms of flavor, authenticity and awareness."
"Our organic grape is an ideal summer fruit; it provides hydration, energy, antioxidants, and pleasure, at a time of year when there's a greater desire to have a healthy and active lifestyle," says the company's management.
"In a market context in which more and more distribution chains are looking for differentiated, sustainable, and functional products, organic grapes stand out as a solid and coherent option; a fruit that not only nourishes, but also conveys a purpose. Because when a grape has a clear origin and outstanding values and flavor, it naturally needs no presentation."
