Our passion for the prickly pear plant & its wellbeing benefits was the inspiration from which stemmed our company Ficurinia
The commitment of Ficurinia, a company founded in February 2017, is to enhance the prickly pear plant in all its forms.
We are based in Augusta (province of Syracuse) and Belpasso (province of Catania).
A deep knowledge of the territory allows us to select the best soils on which the most aromatic prickly pears will grow.
By combining ancient recipes with modern and innovative processing methods, Ficurinia undertakes, through its products of the highest quality, to enhance this ancient fruit by enhancing its beneficial and nutraceutical qualities handed down over time and now widely recognized.
The prickly pear is one of the most important symbols of Sicily. It is a special and multifunctional plant and is destined to play an important role in a market that is increasingly demanding and attentive to both novelties and product quality.
What do we do with prickly pears
Our PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) prickly pears from Etna are Organic. They grow and ripen under the warm sun of Sicily on untreated lands in soil that has unique mineral characteristics. So sweet and tasty that they are named ” the candies’’.
Picked during the early hours of the morning, the prickly pears are transported directly to our laboratories. Here they are seeded, peeled and transformed into pulp, juice and puree.
The seeds, which have previously been separated from the fruit and properly dried, are used to produce the precious prickly pear seed oil known to be the most powerful natural anti-wrinkle in the world, while gluten-free flour derived from the degreased panel is an important source of protein and iron, to be added as a supplement to other flours.
From the flower picking, “Ciuri” is obtained, a liqueur of prickly pear flowers unique in its kind. The flowers are used, as well as for the preparation of herbal teas and infusions, to produce the flowers aqueous concentrate used in the cosmetic industry.
From the fruit processing and drying process developed by the company, the dried Ficurinia fruit is obtained and used, even in purity, as an ingredient for the production of infusion and teas.
From the processing of the Etna PDO prickly pear and the IGP salt of Trapani we produce the Fiurinia prickly pear salt.
The prickly pear is one of the most important symbols of Sicily. It is a special and multifunctional plant and is destined to play an important role in a market that is increasingly demanding and attentive to both novelties and product quality
