Growing Method

BelOrta grows broccoli in open fields, which means the vegetables develop outdoors without greenhouse protection. This gives the broccoli all the space and nutrients it needs to thrive, resulting in a firm texture and a pure, natural flavour. Open-ground cultivation does demand extra care and attention from our growers, but the result is a delicious, healthy vegetable.
