The processed product is the transformation of the fresh banana to puree, cubes and slices packed in containers of mature pulp. This product is destined to the gastronomic industry of both national and international markets.

For the various markets a very careful process is used in the packaging of the fruit in carton boxes according to the needs of the client and always assuring that the fruit arrive in its optimal state to the final consumer.

The measurement of this Process is in Brix Degrees, since the fruit is totally green, recently received from The Plantations, until it is completely mature. Bellow you can see by dynamic way each of the 7 maturation process stages.

Thanks to the care and professionalism implanted by our business we have reached a great acceptance of the product and the recognition of our brand becoming an important part of the market that recognizes us as a business of excellence and quality.
