All strawberries are beautiful. Many also grow in Basilicata. But there is only one Fragola Matera®. Behind its flavour you immediately recognize the work, the respect for the environment and a love for quality.
Our strawberry comes from unique and natural cultivation techniques that improve the environment and enhance the value of an extraordinary fruit, which you immediately recognize by its bright, inviting red color and juicy dense flesh.
That’s why Fragola Matera® is enhanced when you eat it on its own, as it is but also ideal in recipes such as vegan cooking. And it gives you much more than you expect, longer.
Fragola Matera® is a product of excellence, which deserves respect and which we defend against counterfeits. You recognize it immediately by the Nicofruit® brand.

Sustainable Cultivation: in harmony with nature and its timing
Sustainable Cultivation: in harmony with nature and its timing
Our sustainable growing techniques respect the natural rhythms of the strawberry genus and allow us to obtain healthy, beautiful strawberries that retain their freshness and flavor longer, even 10-12 days after harvest.
It takes patience and commitment to make the best strawberry. We respect nature; she is the one who helps us pollinate our strawberries and defend them from pests.
We don’t waste water. And that is why our strawberries stay healthy, beautiful and good much longer.
Natural fertilization is helped by beneficial insects that transform organic material into valuable nutrients. Pollination is natural, bees and bumblebees work on it. And defense against harmful insects also relies on their antagonists in the ecosystem.
And when technology is needed, we rely on totally recyclable materials, such as protective covers, which, at the end of their life cycle, are not thrown away, but conferred within a totally circular cycle.

We take our ideas and enthusiasm from a rich and strong land, just like our strawberries.

FAQ
Curiosities
Do you still have doubts?
Let’s look at the answers to frequently asked questions together.
How many strawberries can you eat per day?
In one day you can eat about 8-12 medium strawberries. In fact, a standard fruit portion is about 150-200 grams. However, the exact number of strawberries you can eat per day depends on each person.
When not to eat strawberries?
You should not eat strawberries if you have an allergy. If you suffer from gastritis or gastroeso-phageal reflux, overconsumption of strawberries could exacerbate your symptoms. In such cases, you should consult a doctor or nutritionist.
Why is strawberry a false fruit?
The strawberry is considered a false fruit, or rather an aggregate fruit. The red, fleshy part we eat is not the real fruit, but the enlarged floral receptacle. The real fruit are the small yellow “seeds” on the surface, called achenes.
How to wash strawberries?
Wash strawberries gently under cold running water just before eating them. Remove the green petiole only after washing them, to prevent water from getting inside the strawberry. Dry them by blotting with a clean cloth or paper towels.
Can irritable colon patients eat strawberries?
Strawberries, which are rich in fiber, may have different effects on people with an irritable colon. Some persons may tolerate them well, while others may experience worsening symptoms. If you have an irritable colon, you should introduce strawberries gradually into your diet and monitor your reaction. Consult a doctor or nutritionist for personalized advice.
Can those who suffer from constipation eat strawberries?
Strawberries, due to their fiber and water content, can promote intestinal regularity and help fight constipation. Consuming Fragola Matera® regularly, as part of a diet rich in fiber and fluids, can be a valuable natural aid.
