Increasing demands for Castion, the re-flowering raspberry of Molario...

  • "We are seeing a marked increase in requests for Castion, which is a reliable and productive variety, interesting both for the grower and for its organoleptic characteristics," said Gilberto Molari, owner of Vivai Molari, a specialist in berries and raspberries in particular.

"Castion is an intermediate ripening raspberry variety; on the re-flowering production the ripening is 20 days after Enrosadira, our other exclusive variety". Continues Molari 'the fruit of Castion is conical, bright red in colour and has a good taste. It preserves well while maintaining the characteristics of colour and flavour. It is a variety particularly suitable for double harvesting. The very vigorous plant offers high productivity".

"In addition to the typical continental climates of northern Italy, this variety has also had positive results in the hot climates of Australia, where we have already had successful experiences in commercial production," Gilberto Molari reported.

Castion is a patented variety by Vivai Molari.

Post-holiday effect: falling prices and limited volumes in Bologna
In Bologna, prices are falling, especially for blueberries, due to the drop in consumption after the holidays. Blackberries and raspberries, on the other hand, remain strong. The quality remains fresh, as do the production batches, but there is a general decline in the quantity of SKUs on the shelves, to the point of a few stock breaks. Chilean blueberries appeared for the first time, generally presenting good quality. Supply from Mexico for raspberries also continued, a sign of the lack of European supply at the moment (Morocco, Spain, Italy and Portugal).
