Taking care of Taste and Freshness

Process of

Quality and Freshness

All our work is geared towards caring for the taste and freshness of our leeks and carrots. This process ranges from planning sowing and harvesting to packaging and dispatching, also including washing, polishing (in the case of carrots), cooling and grading our products.

Thanks to our experience, rural background and facilities, we are able to deliver our leeks and carrots in as little as 24 hours after they are harvested. This is possible due to the combination of:

proximity agriculture
implementation of production lines for washing, and automated packaging
taking great care of our vegetables while also grading, arranging and delivering them, maintaining the cold chain.

Gentle

packaging systems

To guarantee this whole process, we boast an experienced human team and facilities where we invest in necessary adjustments and ongoing improvements. That includes carrot and leek peelers, polishers and washers, hydrocooling methodology, the use of optical graders, and meticulous, automated horizontal and vertical packaging systems for trays and bunches.

Our facilities in Carbonero el Mayor (Segovia) measure a total of 3,700sqm including:

Delivery bay for raw materials
2,000sqm given over to cleaning, washing and packaging the carrots and leeks
Hydrocooling system using static and dynamic cold water showers
Optical graders that differentiate and select the carrots automatically
Digital control of processes and video camera for monitoring
Two areas with cold storage rooms, one for the raw materials and the other for the finished product
Robot to match up product palettes
Purification and recycling system for external water
Facilities with solar panels on the warehouse roofs

All of this allows us not only to maintain the qualities of the harvested crops, but also facilitates traceability and quality control with the most demanding of standards.
