Quality
The journey of our premium frozen fruit
From our fields to your fork
01. Agronomy & cultivation
The Crop’s agronomists work with their (local) partners, always striving for quality, perfection and keeping sustainability in mind. They identify the perfect and resistant varieties and develop a precise drilling plan, to spread and synchronize the harvest. The agronomists use state-of-the-art technologies to map the characteristics of the soil and to enable more precise application of pesticides and fertilizers. When the fruits are at peak ripeness, they are picked with the greatest care and processed within a very short time from harvesting.
02. Process from fresh to frozen
At Crop’s, we uphold the highest standards of food safety, ensuring our products meet all legal and customer requirements. Our quality control process is thorough and spans multiple stages:
- Intake controls on the fresh raw material such as Brix, ripeness, taste, presence of physical & chemical contamination.
- Process controls: temperature, hygienic controls, efficiency of metal detectors and optical sorter.
- Controls on the frozen product: physical and microbiological checks, temperature.
03. Final packing and shipping
After freezing (individually quick frozen) and packing, a final control is performed in the most sustainable conditions. Temperatures are constantly monitored during storage and shipping.
QUALITY AND FOOD SAFETY
100% traceability
To make sure our fruit is handled with the best of care, we cultivate our own fruits on the best terroirs and we build longstanding and loyal partnerships with local growers. Furthermore we see to it that all work is carried out with respect for the environment. 100% of our productions sites and external partners' facilities are GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) certified. A fully traceable supply chain puts us in full control and gives us access to data and a journey of every product we offer.
