Grapes

Grapes are truly a miraculous fruit that offer numerous health benefits to the human body. Belonging to the Vitis genus, grapes are considered the fruit of Life. The vine is a ligneous shrub, which makes it extremely long-lasting, with some vines exceeding hundreds of years in age.

There are many varieties of grapes, but they are primarily divided into two groups: white and red. Both types of grapes offer exceptional benefits to the human body. Grapes are known for their ability to purify the blood and the body, effectively eliminating toxins. They also help eliminate retained fluids, prevent constipation, stimulate circulation, cleanse the liver, and promote good skin condition.

Furthermore, grapes are a natural source of energy, containing high levels of potassium, vitamin B, sugar, and carbohydrates. This makes them an excellent choice for those looking for a quick and natural energy boost.

 

In addition to providing energy, grapes offer several other health benefits:

  • They help to control blood pressure due to their high potassium content.
  • They combat constipation due to their high water and fiber content.
  • They also slow down aging since they act as a powerful natural antioxidant, reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
  • Moreover, grapes are an excellent source of boron, which helps prevent osteoporosis.

With all these incredible health benefits, it’s no wonder that grapes are known as the fruit of Life.

Process

Grapes are a delicate fruit that requires careful handling from the field to the processing plant to preserve their quality. The harvesting process usually begins early in the morning when the temperature is cool and the grapes are at their freshest. Before being transferred to the processing plant, the grapes are pre-selected by skilled workers who check each bunch and its berries for any signs of damage.

Once the grapes arrive at the processing plant, they undergo a series of quality checks to ensure they meet our high standards. The grapes are sampled and weighed to determine their quality, and any grapes that do not meet our standards are discarded. To remove any dust or debris that may have accumulated on the grapes during transport, they are thoroughly cleaned with pressurized air compressors.

The next step in the process is the selection of the grapes based on the specific requirements of our customers. This is a critical step that ensures we deliver the best quality grapes that meet the unique needs of each of our customers. Our skilled workers carefully sort the grapes, selecting only the best bunches with the highest quality berries.

At every step of the process, we prioritize quality and attention to detail to ensure that we deliver the best possible product to our customers. Our commitment to excellence and dedication to providing the highest quality grapes is what sets us apart from the competition.
After the grapes have been carefully selected and sorted, they are filled into boxes and weighed to ensure accuracy. Our packing process is designed to meet the unique needs of each customer, and we have a variety of boxes available to accommodate different markets and specific requirements.

We use both plastic and cardboard boxes of various sizes, and each box is fitted with liner bags, internal carry bags, S02 generators, absorb pads, and more, to ensure the grapes arrive at their destination in the best possible condition.

Our team takes great care to ensure that each pallet is properly stacked and secured to prevent damage during transportation. We understand the importance of delivering the highest quality grapes to our customers, and our packing process is designed to protect the grapes and preserve their freshness and flavor throughout the entire journey.
To ensure the grapes remain fresh and maintain their quality during transportation, the pallets are carefully moved to the cooling tunnel for approximately 12 hours, until they reach a temperature of 0ºC. The cooling tunnel is a controlled environment that helps to remove any excess heat from the grapes and prepare them for shipping.

Once the grapes have been properly cooled, they are moved to the cold chamber for stabilization. This is a crucial step in the process, as it helps to maintain the temperature and humidity levels necessary to preserve the grapes’ freshness and quality during storage and shipping.

Our state-of-the-art cold chamber is designed to maintain optimal storage conditions, ensuring that the grapes are kept at the perfect temperature and humidity levels until they are shipped to our customers. Our team carefully monitors the grapes while they are in the cold chamber, regularly checking the temperature and humidity levels to ensure that they remain within the required range.

By taking these extra steps to cool and stabilize the grapes, we are able to ensure that they arrive at their destination in the best possible condition, with their flavor and freshness intact. We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality grapes, and our careful handling and storage processes are a testament to that commitment.
