Why organic
We refer to "organic", "ecological" or "biological", to any sustainable production system over time, which through the rational management of natural resources, without the use of synthetic chemicals products, provides healthy and plentiful food, maintaining or even increasing soil fertility and biological diversity and also allowing the clear identification by consumers of these products indicated through a certification system that guarantees them.

- Organic farmers rely on crop rotation, cover crops and dense planting to enrich the soil in which they grow their crops, rather than toxic and persistent pesticides, herbicides or fertilizers.

- There are no GMO ingredients, no antibiotics, no synthetic growth hormones, no artificial flavors, coloring or preservatives, and no sewage sludge or irradiation.
