HANDS FILLED WITH DREAMS, JARS PACKED WITH IDEAS.

Citres, now one of the leading canning companies in Italy, began life as a small family concern.

If you’ve ever been to Verona...you’ll know what a city that lives on tradition and passion feels like. And if you’d passed through the streets of Verona in 1958, you might have encountered Renzo Compri, with his hands filled with dreams and a small workshop destined to grow into Citres. Along with his family, Renzo was able to imagine the tastes of the future, and succeeded in taking the Veronese food traditions beyond the city. From then on, our journey became a family adventure, a story of innovation and a passion for quality.

PROCESSING FROM FRESH: WHAT WE DO BEST

“Processing from Fresh” is the method we’re proudest of: using only the freshest seasonal vegetables, processed straight from the field, to ensure they remain crisp and tasty and maintain their nutritional values intact, without subjecting them to any stress. The result? Wholesome, genuine goodness you can really taste.

QUALITY COMES FROM THE SOIL. Our raw materials come from Italy, Spain, Morocco, Turkey, India and Tunisia, and are selected based on on the unique characteristics of each area: soil, sun and humidity. This is how we obtain vegetables of the finest quality, perfect for our recipes.
WORK THAT FOLLOWS THE RHYTHM OF NATURE Making products from fresh is no simple matter. It means planning, waiting patiently, respecting nature. There’s a season for each vegetable, and we wait for just the right moment. The window for harvests is narrow, and unpredictable. But that’s the beauty of it: letting nature and the soil take us by the hand.
OUR SPECIALITIES, PROCESSED FROM FRESH. Artichokes, Silverskin Onions, Borettana Onions, Jardiniere, Peppers, Mini Carrots and Tutto dal Fresco Peppers and Borrettana Onions: every jar tells a story of the land, the seasons, and a passion for things made with love.

PRACTISE SUSTAINABILITY?
