An auspicious fruit, good for your health

The name pomegranate comes from the Latin word “malum” (apple) and “granatum” (with seeds). Known since ancient times, the pomegranate is rich of symbolic meanings: the red juice evokes blood and vital energy while the seeds symbolize cohesion, abundance and prosperity.

The fruit of wellness

The juice obtained from the arils of the pomegranate, as amply demonstrated by the scientific world in the literature, is a prodigious natural energizer ideal for the health of our body. For these reasons it is considered a real Long Life Elixir.
