OUR QUALITY<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Fontestad has implemented the most advanced control systems certified by external organisations to guarantee the quality, freshness and safety of our products throughout the entire process. Our teams are present at every stage of production, from harvesting in the field to final distribution.<\/p>\n

This is supported by a supplier control system based on continuous communication with growers, including technical advice provided by Fontestad specialists. For the processing and handling of citrus fruit we also use the latest quality-control technologies, sorting fruit according to colour, size, weight and external condition.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Our Values<\/h2>

We've been doing this for decades. And if we're still here, it's because of how we do it, not how much we produce.
Our own system. A standard without shortcuts. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

RECEIVING AND EVALUATION<\/h2>

We analyze each batch or lot:
\nBrix, acidity, maturity index, juice content.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

OPTICAL PRE-CALIBRATION<\/h2>

More than 100 photos per piece. No exaggeration.
\nOur latest technology, Global Scan, scans each piece as if it were unique.
\nDiameter, color, density, internal or external defects. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

CONTROLLED DEGREENING<\/h2>

In specific chambers, we control temperature, humidity, CO?, and ethylene to ensure the fruit develops its final color uniformly and safely. Without forcing, without losing properties. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

PACKING WITH REAL-TIME CONTROL<\/h2>

Fontestad oranges and mandarins<\/strong> pass through UV light booths (detecting invisible decay), manual sorting tables, and calibrators with AI trained by us.<\/p>\n

And always, a final pass through manual sorting.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

FINAL CONTROL AND TRACEABILITY<\/h2>

In every box, every label, and every detail.
Before leaving, each fruit is checked for weight, appearance, and labeling.
We deliver confidence that withstands the journey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
