CIRIO Garden Peas

Bodied, delicious and naturally sweet, the Cirio peas are not added salt but they have naturally occurring sodium, no preservatives and no added sugar for a balanced diet. They are grown in Italy, harvested and immediately packaged fresh on the same day to ensure the highest quality, to preserve naturalness and freshness without sacrificing taste.

The ingredients are: peas, water.

Peas are an extremely delicate product that requires light and delicate technologies both in the harvesting and industrial processing phases. The harvest is carried out by expert personnel specially trained by Conserve Italia with the help of special threshing machines owned by the company, which collect and shell the pods directly in the field. The peas, already shelled, arrive in the factories to be sampled and selected according to both their quality level and size, so that they can be packaged according to homogeneous diameters (extra-fine, fine, medium), which correspond to different consumer uses and tastes. Electronic machines perform a first sorting operation, which is followed by washing in running water and a new control of the product carried out manually by particularly experienced operators. Blanching in high temperature water or steam cooking precedes packaging in boxes or glass jars: a solution of water and salt (the “preserving liquid”) is added to the peas, which together with the final steam sterilization phase , differentiated for the canned product and the glass one, allows to maintain the characteristics of the original product in a completely natural way.
