The farming site “Fattoria del Pesce” srl., consisting of farmers with decades of experience in land-based aquaculture, works in the heart of the Natural Park of the Ticino Valley, using production facilities built at the end of the 50's by some of the Italian pioneers of trout farming.
Trout farming takes place in a flow-through system made up of long shallow tanks with continuously flowing water coming from the spring waters available in this area. The trouts are reared following their natural growth pattern which depends on local environmental and water parameters like temperatures and oxygen and in respect of the local veterinary legislation. These paramenters determine the productive performance of the trouts.
