Harvesting

Harvesting of celeriac starts in October. The tubers vary in weight between 700 grams and 1500 grams a piece. Harvesting takes place using a harvesting machine. Next, the tubers are driven to storage. It is very important that the skin of the tubers remains intact.

The tubers are stored in cooling cells, where temperature and humidity are constantly adjusted to keep their quality optimal. Storage of celeriac is no mean feat. Damage to tubers can result in infestation by moulds.
