Reception and
storage
The harvested fruit arrives at the Orchidea Frutta plants to be further sorted and then cooled in cold rooms or by forced air.
This phase is brief as the product must be quickly packaged to maintain freshness.
Selection
During this phase, the peaches are washed and sorted by weight by our innovative machinery. We also check that any foreign bodies are removed and that all fruit is intact.
Packing
The selected peaches are placed in the packaging required by the customer and destined for the different markets. The packages are then placed in cold storage before being transported to their destination.
We keep the peaches around 0° – 2° degrees C to enable them to cope with long distances.
