The story of Kiwi began in China more than 700 years ago, where it was already appreciated at the court of the Great Khan for its delicious taste and emerald pulp. The rest of the world began to know it only in the 19th century, when a collector from the Royal British Horticultural Society sent some fruits and seeds to his homeland. He arrived in Italy in the 70s, and today, thanks to his climate and the passion of his farmers, he is the second largest producer in the world.
