What does organic coffee mean?
What is organic coffee? Organic coffee is coffee grown without the use of pesticides or artificial fertilisers, in complete respect for nature but, above all, we´re talking about the integrity of the end product.

Certification of organic coffee
In recent years, organic coffee has been at the centre of fascinating changes, due to the increasing media attention to the quality of the products we eat and drink. To give you an idea, bear in mind that until a few years ago, coffee was certified by a number of private bodies. Later, the European Community prioritised a process to seek uniformity of production, in order to guarantee transparency and safety for the end consumer. For this reason, today the Eurofoglia certification is considered the only one authorised to certify organic coffee.

How is organic coffee grown?
How is organic coffee grown? In the previous paragraph, we described how the use of natural fertilisers and freedom from pesticides and chemicals are the criteria for organic certification. Since no chemicals can be used to protect the plants from attack by harmful insects, growers have to rely on natural methods. And to control invasion by weeds, non-invasive and mechanical methods are used. This means everything is done in full respect for the environment and the plants are not exposed to chemical agents.
