The Journey of Discovery with New Zealand Cassis
In New Zealand, a land known for its agricultural technology and research and development, Cassis cultivation has been underway for almost 200 years. Leading research institutes, producers and distributors are united in these efforts to continue learning about and improving New Zealand Cassis. These long-time efforts were inspired by the perfect growing conditions found in New Zealand, where the fragrant and dark purple Cassis thrive.
