For the past 45+ years, we have produced and exported spicy ingredients to clients in local and international markets (US, EU, UK, Middle East). We have valuable experience in the production and export of fermented, aged, pureed and concentrated chili peppers of the Capsicum genus.

We use chili peppers produced by local farmers. To whom we provide the seeds, technical assistance, and collection of their crops. In Colombia, we handle approximately 300 hectares through 80 different farmers who produce Tabasco, Cayenne, Jalapeno and Habanero peppers.

OUR PROCESS

Harvested products are carefully selected to use only those fruits with optimum conditions. The product is washed, grounded and concentrated under controlled and hygienic conditions. With the use of salt to control its conservation, the product starts a fermentation process that enhances its flavour, color, and smell. The resulting paste can be concentrated and or dehydrated. Throughout our production process, we never include colorings, heating or evaporation practices which would damage the natural pungency and color.

Environmental concerns are at the heart of our operations. A great deal of the technical assistance provided to farmers goes into product excellence through the promotion of sustainable and environmentally sound agricultural practices.
