At Fundo San Antonio we are in charge of maintaining quality standards, from harvesting, processing and up to the sale of our products.
Fundo
The place of harvest is of great importance to ensure the quality of our products. Fundo San Antonio is located at kilometer 8 of the highway between the Mejia and Mollendo districts of Arequipa, Peru. It has belonged to the founders since 1980 and since then it has harvested selected products. It has a size of 60 hectares of legendary olive trees, fruits and vegetables of great quality in the area.
Harvest
To ensure excellent products, Fundo San Antonio follows a strict harvesting process. It is done once a year for all our products, but the month varies depending on the product, always making sure to use a small amount of pesticides. After the harvest, we begin to prepare the olive tree for the following year, which leads to the pruning stage. After that, we wash the olive trees and fertilize them to prepare them for the next harvest. We make sure all year long that the olive tree has all the nutrients it needs to be fruitful and that the production is of the best quality. This whole process allows us to create many job opportunities for the local people.
Processing
After collection, the olives are transferred to our warehouses where they are stored in large containers. Green olives are macerated for approximately 4 months so that they are ready for consumption. Black olives are harvested and undergo a maceration process for approximately 6 months. The processing of all our products, including jams, is governed by high quality standards for the benefit of our customers and is supervised by our experienced staff.
Packaging
After the specific processing for each product, we proceed to the packaging for final distribution. We have the latest technology and imported machines to have a variety of presentations, ranging from glass jars, bags, doypacks, caps, glass bottles, drums and barrels. In addition, we can order weights from 200 g to 60 kg.
Distribution
We have a national and international distribution. In both, we make sure that the transportation complies with the storage requirements of each product. We have a production plant in Arequipa and a warehouse in Lima, to ensure a fast distribution to the different cities of Peru. We also export to international customers.
