QUALITY CONTROL

 

Our quality control maintains the strict verification of all the raw materials, making daily analyses and finishing with the tests of the roasted product.

The grain sizing in the crushing process is controlled by our laboratory, making possible the shipment with each expedition of the corresponding certificate of quality.
