The mandarin is a plant that was only introduced to Europe in the 19th century, initially in Malta and later in Sicily. Some botanists believe that the mandarin came to Italy even before the orange tree and the lemon tree.
The Di Bartolo company produces a wide range of semi-finished products using Sicilian mandarins, including concentrated and frozen juices, which, depending on requirements, can give soft drinks, energy drinks, smoothies, shakes and plant-based drinks a unique and recognisable flavour.
The flagship of the product range is, of course, the selection of 100% pure essential oils used to characterise ice cream, sorbets, parfaits, desserts and slushies thanks to the natural goodness of carefully selected fruit.
For Di Bartolo, the top priority is the excellence of its product and service qualities, and it pursues and maintains this constantly at every level, so the company always supplies selected and controlled products.
In addition, Di Bartolo offers a full product customisation service, helping companies research and develop new ingredients. This includes the creation of customised ingredient solutions using high-tech equipment and specialised, well-trained personnel.
