Our commitment to producing these extraordinary superfoods follows ancient traditions and sustainable farming practices, while the lush nature of our lands provides the foundation for their exceptional nutritional value.

Goji Berries

Goji Berries, native to the Himalayan and Chinese regions, have been used for centuries in traditional medicine for their beneficial properties. Also known as "the fruit of longevity", they are a treasure of nature that comes from Lycium barbarum plants. Favella is the first agricultural reality in Europe to cultivate nutraceutical goji .

Moringa Oleifera

Our Goji Berries combine innovation and tradition. Grown without pesticides in the fertile soil of the Sibari Plain, they are hand-picked to preserve their purity. The production process, sustainable and respectful of natural cycles, guarantees a nutritionally rich product that preserves all its beneficial properties .

Our lands

The magical lands of the Sibari Plain , in Calabria, are home to the beating heart of our nutraceutical mission. Here, among the rolling hills and the Mediterranean climate, we grow with love and dedication the extraordinary plants that form the basis of our Nik line: Goji Berries and Moringa Oleifera . The unique combination of fertile soil and favorable climate creates the ideal environment for the growth of these superfoods, guaranteeing maximum purity and quality.

Our Goji

In addition to the normal benefits of Goji Berries , studies conducted by the University of Perugia have shown that our Berries contain more than double the concentration of carotenoids , in particular zeaxanthin dipalmitate, a powerful antioxidant that plays a significant role in cellular protection and anti-tumor activity.

Ci sarebbe molto altro da dire, come che il Goji ha una concentrazione di vitamina C superiore a quella delle arance, insieme a vitamine D2, E, gruppo B (B1, B2 e B6), ferro, betacarotene, zinco, selenio, rame, manganese, polisaccaridi e flavonoidi. Poi ancora che non usiamo fertilizzanti chimici, diserbanti, OGM, additivi, coloranti e conservanti; oppure che raccogliamo le bacche a mano per non alterarne le loro proprietà organolottiche; oppure ancora che i nostri prodotti hanno proprietà antiossidanti, anti- tumorali, antinfiammatorie ed antidiabetiche.. ma è molto più semplice e coinvolgente guardare questa breve intervista al proprietario di Favella Nicolò Rizzo e allo Chef multi stellato Enrico Bartolini che utilizza i nostri prodotti per le sue preziose ricette. L'intervista è di qualche anno fa (2015) quando la ricerca dell'Università di Perugia di cui sopra non era ancora conclusa.
