From Orchard to Container — Controlled

A stable microclimate, rapid cooling, and Unitec Cherry Vision 3.5 AI ensure uniform size, consistent color, and reliable deliveries.

Technology that preserves flavor

From Harvest to Cooling – Every Minute Counts

Thanks to precise orchard logistics and modern equipment, our cherries maintain impeccable quality from the branch to the end consumer.

Rapid cooling (2 °C) in less than 60 minutes.

The process ensures that fruit reaches the hydrocooler – a specialized system for quickly reducing fruit temperature to 2 °C – within one hour of picking.

Moisture stabilization with water mist

This technology maintains an ideal microclimate inside the chamber – combining low temperatures with high humidity – to prevent fruit dehydration and preserve freshness.

AI-based visual selection

Every fruit passes through Unitec Cherry Vision 3.5 AI: a multi-camera 360° inspection system that evaluates size, color, firmness, and detects defects, cuts, or cracks.

Packaging and documentation
