CHOICES OF THE DAY — OCTOBER 23, 2026  Two clementines, seemingly identical. But are we sure they taste the same? Today we started right from here: two clementines, one from Policoro in Basilicata, and one from Calabria. Two products that at first glance may seem the same, but when tasted, tell different stories. There’s one characteristic we always look for in clementines: besides sweetness, that particular hint in the aftertaste that slightly reminds you of salt. Have you ever noticed it when tasting a clementine? Tell us in the comments, we’re curious to hear about your experience! But today there’s another important aspect of our choices. Shipments to Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands have started. Our customers will receive the products on Monday. And this completely changes the way we need to select them. Because it’s not enough just to pick a perfect fruit today. We need to consider the journey, delivery times, and above all the moment it will reach the consumer's hands. Our goal is to choose today a product that can show its best in the middle of next week. That means carefully evaluating ripeness, texture, shelf life, and the characteristics of each individual product. Because an excellent fruit today isn’t necessarily the right one for a customer who will sell it in a few days. Quality isn’t just what we see today. It’s also what we can predict for tomorrow. This is our job. WE OBSERVE. WE COMPARE. WE SELECT. Commerfrutta — The Fresh Selector We don’t sell what we have. We choose what’s worthwhile.
