SAIS SEEDS BRIDGING TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN ITALIAN VEGETABLES

When people think of Italian food, they think of freshness, quality and  flavor , but maybe also evolution of consumption models and fusion .

At SAIS  company , we work hard to ensure those qualities start right in the field.

A consistent part of SAIS breeding is focused on enhancing vegetable and herbs varieties of the Italian and Mediterranean tradition .

We pay particular attention towards  the introduction of diseases resistance , agronomic skills, gustatory aspects, new trends ,etc .

This is why our seeds have found a special place also in countries across the globe where there is a significant presence of Italian communities.

Many Italians emigrated during the 20^th Century and brought their culinary traditions and seeds with them, especially to Northern Europe  , United States, Central and South America and Australia.

This created a demand for authentic Italian vegetables, which helped them spread and become part of the daily diet of many people .

It should be added that the Italian restaurants spread all around the world contributed to the promotion and diffusion of Italian ingredients like San Marzano Tomato , Calabrese Pepper , Red Chioggia Chicory, Tropea Onion , Genovese Basil , Italian Giant Parsley and many others.

As Italian cuisine became more and more loved around the world, thanks also to the millions of tourists that yearly visit Italy and the immigrants , people wanted to recreate those dishes when they returned home.

This led to an increasing  demand for the specific vegetables used in Italian cooking, from radicchio and arugula to different types of tomatoes and peppers .

Imagine for example a vibrant red San Marzano tomato, ideal for the most authentic pasta sauce or “ bruschetta “ with homemade bread and olive oil .

Or the authentic basil needed to prepare pesto sauce or adding flavor  to pasta and pizza sauce .

Or perhaps specific chicory and rocket varieties, essential for a truly traditional Italian salad.

Italian vegetables and herbs are now a common sight on supermarket shelves across every continent.

They’ve also really made their way into modern ‘fusion cuisine,’ mixing beautifully with ingredients from other culinary traditions , like “ Caprese salad with Asian twist “ or “pesto sauce  with marined chicken and peanuts “ .

SAIS  became in the last decades a true reference point for seed distributors and growers  who are looking for high-quality Italian vegetable varieties – ones that perfectly blend tradition with innovation .

Our dedicated breeders focus on varieties that thrive in diverse climates, ensuring that the unique flavors that make Italian cuisine so beloved can be enjoyed by consumers everywhere.

By offering SAIS seeds, distributors and growers are providing their customers with the opportunity to grow vegetables that bring the true “taste of Italy” .
