Control points
Each production stage carries its own quality responsibility, from raw material intake to final packing.
Control point 01
Raisins are sourced through a grower program covering more than 3,000 suppliers, so every lot enters the factory with a known origin and an agreed quality standard.
Control point 02
Each incoming lot is recorded by grower and region, allowing the product to be followed through processing and back to the vineyard it came from.
Control point 03
The six-stage line is supervised throughout, with control points at pre-processing, washing, stemming, sorting, drying and packing.
Control point 04
Production follows strict food-safety practices and HACCP guidelines, with controlled handling from intake to the sealed pack.
Control point 05
Optical sorting and inspection remove foreign material and defective product by color, structure, shape and size before packing.
Control point 06
Automatic weighing, metal detection and packing prepare each batch for wholesale and export shipment with 100% traceability retained.

Natural drying
Raisins are naturally sun dried for approximately 21 days during the optimal time of the year. No olive oil or potassium carbonate is used, and no 7-day sultanas are produced — only naturally sun dried raisins.
Inspection technology
Sorting technology identifies and removes foreign material and product defects using characteristics such as colour, structure, shape and size. Metal detection and automatic weighing complete the final control before packing.

Traceability
Each incoming lot is recorded by grower and region, allowing finished product to be followed back to the vineyard it came from.
