MondoMelinda, Segno - Via della Cooperazione 21The world behind an apple: guided tour of Melinda’s processing facilities
What happens after the harvest? What is really behind a Melinda apple? With this guided tour you enter the heart of the Melinda Consortium and discover the journey of each fruit, from delivery to processing and packaging.
After an initial stop in the new glass-walled room, where you can immerse yourself in the history of the Consortium, the visit continues onto the terrace with its stunning views over Val di Non. From here, you will enter the Golden Theatre for an immersive show set in the underground facilities. You will then walk through the processing rooms, where you can see the machinery, sorting and production processes up close, and discover the different varieties of Melinda apples, carefully grown by farmers in the Noce Valleys. The visit ends with a small tasting of Melinda apple varieties and a quiz: different aromas, textures and characteristics. Will you be able to recognize them?
