How are South Tyrolean vegetables grown?
Vegetables with the South Tyrolean seal of quality originate mainly from small family run farms. The plants are carefully grown in the open air and, with the exception of asparagus, grow at an altitude of at least 600 metres above sea level. This gives the vegetables plenty of time to develop their full flavours under the sun. This results in South Tyrolean vegetables that are not only crunchier and tastier, but also richer in vitamins and nutrients.
