What is the Shelf Life of Baby Leaf salads?

In the first range Baby Leaf salads industry, Shelf Life is a key and decisive factor for the product that arrives on our tables. In fact, there must be a maximum of 7/10 days from harvest to table so as not to compromise the quality of the leaves, and when the Baby Leaf salads are harvested, there is no time to lose!

One of the cornerstones of our company is that we offer consumers Baby Leaf salads that are as tasty as the day they were harvested. That’s why we focus highly on the Shelf Life of our Baby Leaf salads, even before the sowing phase, and make sure our customers receive them as quickly as possible. Here’s what we do in practice to optimise timing and guarantee a consistently genuine product.

Adopting a thorough varietal selection, we have identified the Baby Leaf salads that guarantee a longer Shelf Life, in order to offer our customers more time between harvesting, delivery and distribution to the final consumer.

Thanks to Agriculture 4.0 and climate monitoring systems used in greenhouses, we coordinate the farming methods for Baby Leaf salads and we can predict with increased certainty when the Baby Leaf salads will be ready for harvesting. This allows us to organise the work process so that we are always ready to cut, process and deliver the Baby Leaf salads at just the right time.

The temperature is controlled in our laboratory, where we sort and package the Baby Leaf salads, and the product lots respect the cold chain, so as not to compromise the quality and Shelf Life of the individual leaves. The same applies to our refrigerated trucks we use to deliver our Baby Leaf salads throughout Europe.
