Fratelli Battaglio

The company

according to us

A journey through quality fruit, full of our care, commitment and passion, to let you enjoy the authentic taste of nature.

We select the best fruit in the world and bring it to the tables of Italy, for over 50 years.

Our work

We import and distribute the best selection of exotic fruit and traditional fruit from the southern hemisphere to Italy, in order to offer naturally delicious products even in the off-season.

Our mission is to guarantee the quality of our products in every circumstance. We follow this goal day after day, through scrupulous controls of our whole production line, from farming to ripening, from packaging all the way to the most efficient transport solutions.

Reponsible Organization

For this reason, in accordance with the Italian Legislative Decree No 231/2001 on production responsability, we have decided to make thee following documents available for consultation:


Documentation that proves, once again, the transparency and reliability of our company.
