Productive process: Sowing and collecting

Our factory is located in the province of Soria, whose density is one of the lowest in Europe. The land where we sow the raw materials used to be a lake that collected all the waters coming from the river Añamaza. In 1858 the lake dried up and canals were built to channel the water, and a big part of the land was turned into arable land.

Years after, the land was completely dried up but just at a superficial level. Under the land there still was a large aquifer which is the source of the river Añamaza which flows into river Ebro. On this land we grow the raw materials without chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Due to the location at 1000 meters above the sea level we enjoy the advantages of avoiding problems for example with greenflies or butterflies. These kind of pests cannot support neither the elevation nor the climate changes, with temperatures varying in Summer from the thirty degrees Centigrade during the day and the two degrees Centigrade by night. This climate contrast allows the potato crop to grow and remain in the land for at least six months time.

In October the potatoes are ripe and in optimal condition for frying so at this point we collect them by hand and store them in wooden boxes.

After collecting the potatoes and before entering the warehouse, the potatoes are completely cleaned and only the best ones are selected for storing in compliance with the standard scales.

In the warehouses where the raw materials are stored the lightning, ventilation, humidity and temperature are controlled.
