POMEGRANATE

The pomegranate is a non-climacteric fruit, so it does not ripen once harvested. Therefore, it is vitally important to collect it at its optimal point of ripeness so that its sugar and acidity levels, as well as the intensity of color, are those that characterize each variety.

Both varieties have great productive and commercial potential due to their beauty and flavor, but the added value lies in their harvest date. Traditionally, the pomegranate was harvested in October and November, but genetic improvement has managed to obtain these varieties that allow an exceptional fruit to be harvested 2 months earlier, beginning in mid-August.

Its origin is in Israel. ARO Vulcani Center is a research and genetic improvement center which has spent many years focused on obtaining pomegranate varieties, among other species, with greater productive potential, color, fewer seeds, fewer thorns on the branches, etc. It has released 4 commercial varieties so far, but in Europe they have only granted exploitation licenses for EMEK and SHANI.

The peculiarity of our climate of great temperature contrasts with warm days and cool nights during the harvest season makes the color of our pomegranates very intense, much more than in their country of origin, making it a commercial plus.

EMEK

It is the earliest pomegranate variety on the market. It reaches its optimal ripening point between the end of August and the beginning of September. The approximate production is 30,000 kg/ha.

The fruit has a very characteristic spherical shape and is distinguished by having a large elongated crown, well closed and very resistant. It has large, intense ruby red arils. The seed is soft and small. With a sweet flavor and a point of acidity that makes it fresh and “sparkling” in the mouth. Its external coloration is much more intense than in Israel. The background is of a uniform pink color with a more reddish veneer in the areas exposed to the sun, resulting in a fruit of exceptional beauty.

SHANI

Its collection begins about two weeks later than EMEK, that is to say in the middle of September approximately. The average production is 35,000 kg/ha. The fruit is more flattened than EMEK and the crown is smaller and closed, although it is also very resistant.

The arils are very uniform and have little membrane, so the performance for the dearylation industry is very high. Its flavor is excellent and pleasant due to the exceptional balance between sugar and acidity. The internal color is very intense ruby red with purple reflections. The seed is soft and edible. The external color of the fruit is uniform bright red with some pink undertones.
