A very precise specification details the various obligations so that the product can finally offer the organic label.

Health and environment, the main criteria recognized for organic products by consumers, have made a fashion phenomenon yesterday an obvious benchmark henceforth for everyone, and even if sometimes the price still appears, sometimes, higher.
