About Trepunti.Sicily
The Trepunti farm is surrounded by mountains and the sea, and the highest active volcano in Europe, Mount Etna, can already be seen on the farm. Therefore, the soil on the farm contains a lot of minerals that help crops grow, which is very suitable for fruit growth.
The farmer, Jennifer, is a girl from Hong Kong who is married to a Sicilian farmer. She pays great attention to the food safety and quality of fruits and vegetables. In order to pursue higher quality fruits and vegetables, she began to learn how to cultivate organic fruits and vegetables. Jennifer and his wife, who like Hong Kong very much, opened an online store in Hong Kong in 2019 in order to allow the public in Hong Kong to enjoy the high-quality fruits and vegetables of Sicily, and bring high-quality Sicilian fruits and vegetables to Hong Kong citizens.
香港出身の農家、ジェニファーはシチリア出身の農家と結婚しました。食品の安全性と品質に強い関心を持つ彼女は、より高品質な農産物を求めて有機農法を学び始めました。香港を愛する二人は、2019年に香港でオンラインストアを開設し、シチリア産の本格的な味を香港の人々に届け、高品質なシチリア産の果物や野菜を楽しんでもらえるようにしました。
意識の高い消費者であるジェニファーは、サプライチェーンの透明性を非常に重視しています。それは、健康的な食生活、食品ロス削減、持続可能性、フェアトレードなど、多くの課題に関わるからです。グローバル化はサプライチェーンを長期化させ、ローカリゼーションは選択肢を制限しています。彼女は、地域農業とグローバル農業に関する研究を通して、グローバル化とローカリゼーションのバランスを取ることが可能であり、さらに第三の道、すなわちグローバル・ローカリゼーションが存在することに気づきました。その答えは、食品の原産地を知ることです。イタリアでは、農業の80%以上が小規模農家によって営まれており、彼らは主に仲介業者やスーパーマーケットに販売を依存しています。これは事実上、農家や生産者を市場から排除することになります。ジェニファーは、消費者と農家を再び結びつけることで、距離を縮め、サプライチェーンの透明性を高めたいと考えています。高品質なシチリア産の果物や野菜の本格的な味を香港に届けるだけでなく、消費者が口にする食品についてより深く理解できるよう、より多くの情報を提供することも目指しています。「私たちは食べたものでできている」のです。
🛍 Product Information* :
Tarocco is a premium variety of blood orange (Citrus sinensis), originating from Sicily, Italy. It is widely regarded as one of the sweetest blood oranges available. The fruit is medium to large in size, with a bright orange rind that may develop a reddish blush. The flesh features striking deep red to burgundy streaks or pigmentation due to anthocyanins, and it is typically seedless or contains very few seeds. Tarocco oranges are exceptionally juicy, offering a rich, sweet flavor with balanced acidity, floral notes, and hints of berry or raspberry. The name "Tarocco" derives from a Sicilian dialect term meaning "beautiful" or "pretty," aptly describing its attractive appearance and superior taste. It is ideal for fresh eating, juicing, salads, desserts, or cocktails, with peak season usually from late winter to early spring.

*Special Notes
Especially since the fruits came from afar from Sicily, some of Jennifer's fruits are directly purchased from small farmers. The locals like to harvest the fruits when they are ripe. No pesticides are applied to the organic fruits, and it is normal to have defects on the surface. We do not return or exchange products based on individual subjective factors (aroma, size, sweetness, etc.). However, if the fruit is damaged/damaged on a large scale, we are happy to make return/exchange arrangements based on the degree of damage to the fruit. Please contact our store via Whatsapp/phone within 24 hours and send us the photo of the fruit in question.
