Franchi Sementi Tomato Seeds (Variety Carter F.1)

Franchi Sementi is a historic Italian brand specialized in the production of high-quality vegetable and flower seeds. Founded in 1783, it remains one of the oldest family-run seed companies in the world. The product shown is a packet of Carter F.1 variety tomato seeds, which are produced and packaged in Grassobbio, Bergamo, Italy.

The brand is currently owned and managed by the Franchi family through Franchi Sementi S.p.A. They maintain a strong emphasis on traditional Italian heritage varieties while also incorporating modern hybrid science (like the F.1 variety seen here). The manufacturing process, including selection and trial, primarily takes place in Italy to ensure European quality standards (Normativa CE).
