Our frozen pulp factory is located next to the 95-hectar fazenda (also owned by Nectarvis) near the town of Cearà-Mirim, about 40 km from Natal, capital city of Rio Grande do Norte State, in Brazil’s Nordeste.

Nectarvis has chosen the Nordeste of Brazil as operating base because of the structural advantages offered by this region:

• Agriculture specialized in many varieties of tropical fruits offered by Fruteiro.
• Relative closeness to the North of Brazil where the Amazonian fruits come from (açaí and cupuaçu).
• High productivity in agriculture: in the Rio Grande do Norte State there are on average 300 sunny days per year.
• Favorable logistics for exports: Natal is the closest city to Europe of all Americas and is a fast growing logistics hub: Natal has an harbor with rapidly increasing traffic and is planning to build Brazil’s biggest cargo airport within the next few years

Nectarvis srl has designed its frozen pulp factory according to the most demanding criteria. Some of the key highlights are:

• Powered freezing tunnels to better preserve nutritional and organoleptic qualities of the pulp.
• Equipment to heat pulp and reduce its air content in order to minimize the enzymatic degradation of the pulp.
• Top-quality automatic processing and pasteurization unit, designed and built in Italy.
• Opportunity to process in the factory some of the fruit varieties cultivated in the adjacent fazenda. This helps to ensure the best quality of the frozen pulp, by minimizing the time elapsing between fruit collection and processing, time responsible for the loss of nutritional (especially as far as vitamins are concerned) and sensorial value.
