An agronomist in charge follows the plots from sowing to harvest. It is the agronomist who determines when to harvest, when the vegetable is fully ripe. As soon as they are harvested, the fresh vegetables are stored directly on the plot in suitable containers and labelled. They are delivered and immediately put into production.
Once delivered to the production site, the vegetables are washed to remove impurities. They are then sorted, graded and/or cut. Vegetables can be blanched, among other things to fix their colour, to deactivate enzymatic reactions and to reduce the microbial flora.
The last stage of production, deep-freezing (mainly IQF) is quick and short. This method of preservation best preserves the organoleptic properties of the product (texture and flavour).
The products are packaged according to their intended use (cardboard and bulk bag, pouch, case, etc.). The last checks are carried out (metal detector, visual sorting, etc.) and the products are placed on pallets, ready to be shipped.
