Can we make healthier olives?
One of the objectives we set ourselves at the beginning of the century was to provide consumers with products that are increasingly healthier and more beneficial to their health.
To this end, and in keeping with the traditional flavour of our products and respect for our production processes, our master craftsmen have been adjusting numerous recipes to reduce their salt content.
The result of this project is that currently the best-selling olive references, as well as the new launches, are PRODUCTS WITH REDUCED SALT CONTENT.
‘The main requirement to ensure the quality of our offer is to source raw materials of the highest quality’.
Raw materials
Choosing the right ingredients to prepare recipes is crucial to achieve tasty, quality products.
Faroliva has decades of experience analysing and supervising the state of the harvests throughout the year in order to incorporate the fruit into the production process at the optimum moment.
Natural processes
After this work, Faroliva’s experts in the care of the fruit continue with the subsequent treatment and care of the ingredients, exclusively by means of natural processes, until they are packaged.
Thanks to the incorporation of the most modern technology, our production capacity in this last phase of the process is around 30 million kg. per year.
Innovation
Faroliva´s R+D area works on a continuous search for new flavors and recipes as we listen to the demands of an increasingly active, dynamic and curious consumer. An example of this is Faroliva’s developments in healthier products: reduced salt ranges or varieties with organic certification.
