Temperature-controlled transport
To ensure that our products do not undergo any transformation by heating or freezing during transport from producer to us, we do random checks by attaching recorder-thermometers to the shipments.
Compost
Orkos requires of its producers that they control that the core temperature of their compost does not exceed 40 °C, in order not to provide the products with molecules transformed by heat.
The compost used may only be composed of unprocessed natural products, that have never undergone transformation by chemicals, heat or radiation treatment. As such, kitchen waste are for example strictly prohibited.
Freshness
For maximum freshness, our vegetables and local fruit come directly from our producers, several times a week. For the most sensitive products we use refrigerated packages for their dispatch.
Chemicals
Our products labeled Orkos-Prestige receive no synthetic chemicals, including fertilizer, pesticide, fungicide or any other treatment.
Drying
For the entire of our dried fruit, seaweed and nuts, the drying constraints are very strict : temperature must never exceed 40 °C and drying is as light as possible, depending on the nature of each product. This constraint will ensure an excellent preservation of flavors, vitamins and nutrients.
