Production Line

Our citrus fruit arrive directly to our factory premises, still fresh, right after the harvest. The fruit is transported in crates, and after being washed, it is sorted to remove any fruit that is blemished. Next, the fruit is waxed and sorted again. The electronic classifier separates the fruit according to their size. 

The method of packaging, either by hand or automatically, is then chosen by highly skilled production personnel and the transfer is made in special chambers for temperature stability or refrigeration to ensure optimal storage conditions and high-quality characteristics of the fruit. These steps are carefully taken so as to avoid even the slightest "alteration" of the fruit throughout the whole process right up to their delivery at the site chosen by the customer and, of course, to guarantee that the fruit reaches the final consumer in the most wholesome form.
