For nearly 40 years the Malfatti family has been growing kiwis in Sorde-l’Abbaye in the heart of the Adour valley, it’s Kiwis Délices. Organic green kiwis from Adour, yellow kiwis and for fifteen years now the Malfatti family has developed a range of cosmetic products based on kiwis and even kiwi seeds.
The Adour kiwi is the only kiwi to benefit from the official Label Rouge certification and also benefits from the Protected Geographical Indication. It is one of the jewels of Landes agriculture. Landes production alone represents 1/4 of national production, so we are in Pays de l’Adour the largest kiwi-growing region in France. Producers like Stéphane Malfatti, although weakened by the various climatic events, continue to pamper this kiwi to the point, like Stéphane, of developing many processed and derived products.
Juices, jams, compotes, …
At Kiwis Délices you will of course find the retail kiwi fruit but also processed products such as compotes (apples-kiwis), jams; plain jam made from Adour Kiwis and jam made from plain Gold Kiwi also. You will inevitably fall for the kiwi juice, a creamy and tasty juice made from a mixture of pulp (75%) extracted by hand and an infusion of natural kiwis.
Oil, creams, shampoos, soap, …
The Kiwis Délices cosmetic range is a success. It was born from a desire not to throw anything away after transformation. This is how creams, shower gels and solid or liquid shampoos came into being. And then came the kiwi seed oil, an oil rich in omega 3 and 6 and vitamin C and E. A nugget!! The gold of Kiwis Délices to test absolutely.
