How can I book the purchase of the organic Montelupone artichoke?
Reservations can be made at the address info@carciofodimontelupone.it or on the Facebook page "The organic Montelupone artichoke" with private message. The site operator will forward the request to local producers who have the artichoke at that time.
What are the selling prices?
By making direct purchases from manufacturers without any intermediation, sales prices are much cheaper than in stores. The selling price is influenced by: the weather conditions, the purchase period and the type of product. The fresh Montelupone Artichoke is cataloged according to the following categories:
- Mammola or Cimarolo (about 180 grams);
- 1st category (about gr. 90);
- 2nd category (about gr. 60);
- carciofino (circa gr. 30).
In linea di massima il prezzo varia da 1,50 a 0,30 €/pz. Il prezzo specifico viene definito al momento dell’ordine.
Should a minimum quantity be ordered?
Per acquisti diretti nelle sedi delle aziende non sono indicate quantità minime. Per la consegna a domicilio, se distante dalla sede di produzione, occorre garantire un quantitativo minimo da accordare col produttore.
How long in advance should I book the purchase?
The availability of the product depends on the weather conditions and the reservations received. Since production is limited to small areas that normally do not satisfy all requests, it is advisable to indicate the quantity requested in advance.
Do I have to pay an additional fee for home delivery?
La consegna a domicilio è generalmente gratuita se la destinazione risulta essere a breve distanza. In caso contrario verrà richiesto un contributo spese proporzionale alla quantità di prodotto acquistata.
