Export companies of olive products from Europe
Macarico S A Export company of olive products from Portugal
Administration building
Knowledge and innovation seeking come naturally as the result of many years of experience and are what fuels our constant concern with rationalization and update of our industrial processes.
Sourcing
Before it gets onto your plate, the Macarico products undergo a series of rigorous quality control tests which start with their origin.
Our associated producers are selected for their very high standard of quality to ensure our products are able to deliver true richness of flavour.
Fermentation Container
When the olives come into the plant as raw material they are then put through a rigorous quality control which is followed by storage in the fermentation containers prior to going thorough to the other stages of the production process.
Laboratory
The quality control is inherent to the full process from raw material to the finished product and carried out by a team of experts including all the necessary laboratory testing.
Dedicated Production Lines
The company is equipped with dedicated production lines for the purpose of processing whole olives, sliced and pitted olives, as well as a variety of stuffed olives.
Client/consumer satisfaction and loyalty is one of our main concerns and to ensure its continuity we implemented the Maçarico S.A. Food Safety and Quality Assurance.
Our products comply with our safety and quality regulations undergoing tight control throughout the production process. Starting with the incoming raw materials, at each stage through to the finished product, our laboratory tests ensure the maximum quality and consistency. The implementation of an all encompassing company quality assurance system was paramount to ensure our very high standards and as required by the food industry.
Maçarico´s hard work at achieving a high standard of quality has been rewarded with international accreditation: the IFS for ready-to-eat olives and lupin beans, as well as the ISO 22000 for pickles, sauces, culinary pastes and olive oil packaging. We have good reason to be delighted as the accreditation means potential clients preference us with confidence.
