In the Rio Maggiore Mine, within the cavities created by the extraction of Dolomite rock, in the province of Trento in Trentino Alto Adige, the apple producer Melinda has created the world’s first and only underground fruit refrigeration facility, with a controlled atmosphere and a constant temperature throughout the seasons.

It is a true natural refrigerator hidden inside the Dolomites, which respects the environment and maintains the apples' quality intact. This is a fascinating underground world of tunnels and chambers where technology and nature work together for the benefit of both the apples and the environment.
