Val Venosta Golden Apples

Val Venosta apples are grown in the Val Venosta valley (Vinschgau) in South Tyrol, Italy. This region is characterized by high-altitude orchards and a unique microclimate that is ideal for apple cultivation. The brand is managed by VI.P (Association of Val Venosta Fruit Growers' Cooperatives), which was founded in 1990 to represent the local farmers and ensure high quality and environmental standards.

The apples are primarily produced in Italy and are certified with the PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status, ensuring that they are grown and processed within this specific geographic area. The Val Venosta brand is recognized globally for its ladybug logo, representing natural farming and sustainability. The ultimate ownership lies with the cooperative formed by approximately 1,600 fruit-growing families from the South Tyrol region.
