Brands
Sammarini SRL treats the products of the best brands.
Melinda
We are a consortium (not a joint-stock company, much less a multinational company) that produces every year about 400,000 tons of apples in the valleys of Non and Sole: a large family of over 4,000 families of producer members, grouped into 16 cooperatives, who live and cultivate the apple tree in the Valli del Noce (Val di Non and Val di Sole).
The families of the producers are the guarantee of the quality and sustainability of our fruits. An apple either picks good from the tree or good can never become again in any way. The goodness of Melinda apples is born only in orchards, thanks to the constant work of peasant families. The Melinda Consortium then organizes and manages all the activities following the collection (storage, refrigeration, selection, packaging, shipping, promotion, sales, administration, purchases, personnel management...)"

Opera
"Opera is the only organization of Italian fruit growers specializing exclusively in the cultivation of pears.
This is why Opera is special and aims to become the producer and supplier of the best pears in Italy, in the EU27 and in the world.
The authentic goodness you find in Opera pears is entirely Italian.
Each of them is in fact the result of the collaboration that is renewed every year, for centuries between expert fruit growers and a unique territory: Emilia Romagna.
The Opera Consortium was born from the union of over 1,000 expert and passionate fruit growers who every day cultivate more than 5,000 hectares of pear trees with competence, commitment and passion. These fruit growers share an important common goal: they want to pursue the True Sustainability of their farms.
An objective that starts from the idea that, in order to be truly sustainable over time and from an ethical point of view, the growth of their companies must respond to the needs of the Territory in which they are located, of the Company to which they belong and of the Economy in which develop.
How do they plan to achieve this? Through an inclusive, generous and broad-minded spirit, born to unite and not divide, which makes cooperation between farmers an essential condition for the development of agriculture in general and pear cultivation in particular. "
