Behind the scenes at Aleia Roses
Innovative Dutch technology
In 2013, the company’s creation was headed by Luis Corella and in 2016 the first Aleia Roses started to grow in the 15-hectare greenhouse. Aleia Roses is the largest greenhouse in Europe which grows this rose variety. The greenhouse has been built and designed by Dutch experts.
The greenhouse is located 1,000 meters above sea level. Therefore, there is a large difference in temperature between day and night. Anti-glare frosted glass has been used as the basis for the greenhouse in order to obtain powerful solar radiation.
As you can see in the video, Aleia has created water reservoirs which recover and store rainwater and allow it to be reused. Due to this system and the water of the Duero river, which runs close to the farm, the project reduced by more than half of the usual water consumption for hydroponics.
Aleia Roses also has a system for recovering CO2 from the combustion of natural gas in the shell boilers for hot water at low pressure and of high efficiency. This avoids the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and reduces the impact on global warming.
Aleia Roses has two brands: Reia and Aleia. Aleia (A1 quality) has a vase life of up to two weeks. The colour of the Aleia Rose is an intense bright red and has more than 80 petals. The Reia roses are available in B1 and A2 quality.
