Finca Torrevella, Passion for Agriculture.
April 18, 2021
The Torrevella farm, where the Sotaroni products are born.
It is located in the Polop Valley. A valley located north of Alicante, in the inland regions, and a few kilometers from Alicante capital. A unique environment, where continental and Mediterranean climates converge, due to its height, 850 meters above sea level. In addition, it is surrounded by high mountains and mountain ranges, which make it a place of great biological interest, and with a high biodiversity.
Between the Mariola mountain range and the Red Fountain.
It is also very close to the highest peak in the province, the Aitana. With a cool climate in winter, hot in summer, and with a very high solar incidence, they make it ideal for growing fruit trees. Among them the cherry tree, and the apple tree.
Integrated agriculture
The farm is within integrated agriculture. With practices beneficial to the environment. The olive grove is combined, along with cherry trees, and apple trees. Products with residue 0, or bioecological, are used. And a soil free of labor is maintained, maintaining its biodiversity. Thanks to its vegetation cover, where more than 50 types of plants have been identified. Fundamental to maintain a soil rich in beneficial microorganisms for the crop. That prevent pests and imbalances in the soil structure.
The environment of the farm
The environment of the farm, where plants such as rosemary, juniper, thyme, and various types of sage abound. Products such as EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), cherries, apples and honey. They contain trace elements, polyphenols, and organoleptic characteristics, so beneficial to health, and the basis of Mediterranean culture and cuisine.
Passion for the land
This is how Sotaroni was born. From the passion for the land, from the love for nature, from the respect for the work of our grandparents, from claiming a life based on the integration of human beings with the environment. We want to add value to the natural versus the synthetic. Without forgetting technological advances, to seek continuous improvement. Based on ecology and sustainable production. Looking for perfection, and although we know that it is not possible, we will never stop trying!
