Location: Campania, Italy
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Strawberries
The south of Italy is blessed with a huge amount of sunshine, so the organic strawberries grown here are especially juicy and ripe. For Little Freddie, we’ve chosen a lovely variety of strawberry with a very sweet flavour and intense colour.
Location: Pembrokeshire, UK
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Beef
Owned by a fifth generation farmer whose family has cultivated it since the 1820s, this farm is set in rolling green hills on the rugged Atlantic coast of Wales. His herd of cows roam freely and eat fresh paddock grass – not grains. Organic standards strictly limit the use of antibiotics and medicines, so the beef is extremely tender and full of flavour. We only use whole cuts of lean organic beef for Little Freddie.
Location: Registro, Brazil
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Bananas
We source organic bananas from a European certified organic farm in Brazil. Located deep in the Brazilian rainforest, the banana plantation is surrounded by impenetrable jungle and secluded from other plantations to avoid any cross-contamination. The perfect growing climate enables us to harvest bananas all year round for optimal freshness and taste.
Location: Abruzzo, Italy
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Carrots
This 2nd generation family has been growing carrots for more than half a century in a stunning setting in the centre of Italy, alongside the Abruzzo National Park. Grown according to the Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) on an ancient lake drained in Roman times, the sandy soil is ideal for growing carrots. The soil is so rich they don’t need to add any fertilizer. The carrots taste naturally sweet and creamy.
Location: Nottinghamshire, UK
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Broccoli and Parsnips
This award-winning organic farm is in the heart of England and run by a 3rd generation farmer. Wildlife corridors encourage the natural pollination of plants and vegetables, and a third of the land is left fallow to replenish itself naturally. It’s a very healthy ecosystem, bursting with wildlife; and it produces incredibly tasty, vitamin-rich organic vegetables.
Location: The Dolomites, Italy
Little Freddie ingredient: Organic Apples and Pears
The Dolomites region of the Alps in Italy is remarkable for its fresh air and pure mountain water and famous for its apple & pear orchards. Cold winter frosts and warm days make it the perfect environment to grow apples & pears with intense flavour and colour.
