Naturally Delicious
The fig as you've never tasted, from Torres Novas to the world.
Who We Are
We are an agricultural society whose mission is to support the production, processing and distribution of the Portuguese Fig. We were born in the land of Fig – Torres Novas and it is here that we intend to reborn the fig industry once so important in our region and country
01. PLANTING
We bet on innovation. We install new orchards based on studies supported by specialist entities that have been carried out to improve fig tree production.
02. TRANSFORMATION
Any fig that does not have the optimal characteristics for fresh consumption is processed.
Depending on the variety, it is dried or made into jam. With the dried fig we also transformed it into a superior quality product, our Negro de Torres Novas.
The entire transformation process complies with food safety standards.
03. PICKING AND PACKAGING
Fig picking is a delicate process throughout the fig cycle. The fig is picked by hand with great care and then it's calibrated and sorted at the field.
04. EXPEDITION
As the fig does not ripen after being picked, it must be picked at the right time for consumption and quickly distributed for sale to the consumer. It is a daily process that involves an unparalleled dedication so that nothing fails in this chain.
A benefit for the consumer who has access to the freshest possible fig.
WHAT WE DO
This society was born in 2020 from the will of a group of nine people who mutually wanted to produce and distribute figs. Thus, our mission is the exploration, production, acquisition, preparation, transformation, packaging, marketing, import and export of fig, fig trees and food products derived from them, as well as any other related activities.
OUR MISSION
Improving the production and distribution methods of the fig product are essential to ensure better quality among consumers. We research and develop techniques to support the exploration of fig trees, production, processing and distribution of the fig. We aim to expand to international markets where we can make known the Portuguese Fig.
SUPPORT PRODUCTION
Technical Assistance
We have at the disposal of our associates the technical means to support the production of the fig and its commercialization.
