The Ciarlo Family
Mediterranea Belfiore, a family-run business located in Cecina, specializes in organic preserves and sauces. Founded by Donato Ciarlo in 1952, the company initially focused on tomato cultivation and transitioned to producing canned tomatoes using traditional recipes. Managed by three sisters, Simonetta, Emiliana, and Antonella Ciarlo, alongside their mother Renza, the company now produces high-quality tomato sauces, pestos, and various vegetable products, maintaining their dedication to traditional culinary methods and natural ingredients.
Organic Commitment
Mediterranea Belfiore sources tomatoes exclusively from organically certified Tuscan farms, ensuring they meet strict organic and quality standards. These farms are carefully selected and monitored over time to maintain the integrity and purity of their produce.
Quality and Freshness
The company selects optimal soil, sun exposure, and tomato varieties for the best quality produce, focusing on geographical locations that ensure ideal ripeness and sweetness. To preserve natural fragrance and flavor, tomatoes and other vegetables are harvested and processed quickly, maintaining the essence of fresh produce.
