Your Contract Manufacturing Partnership in Vinegar Production
Vinegars, indispensable flavor enhancers in our kitchens, have a wide range of uses, from salads to pickles, marinades to cleaning products. With different varieties such as apple cider vinegar, grape vinegar, and balsamic vinegar, they meet consumers’ expectations for both taste and health. The production of naturally fermented, additive-free, and high-quality vinegar requires expertise and a meticulous process.
At Ontad, we produce the most natural and high-quality vinegar varieties for your brand through a contract manufacturing model. With our modern facilities, our deep knowledge of fermentation, and our meticulous quality control processes, we produce vinegars that will take their place on shelves under your brand name.
Ontad’s Expertise and Quality Control in Vinegar Production
Vinegar production is a biochemical process that requires attention and control at every stage, from inception to bottling. Ontad’s production process aims to achieve the best results by observing these subtleties:
- Raw Material Selection: The quality of vinegar begins with the quality of the raw materials used. The apples, grapes, or other fruits used in our production are carefully selected from fresh and high-quality sources, complying with local and international standards.
- Natural Fermentation Process: Vinegar is obtained through a two-stage process: alcohol fermentation followed by acetic acid fermentation. In our facilities, these processes are carried out under controlled temperatures and hygienic conditions, preserving the natural structure and nutritional values of the product.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance: Every batch of production undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- Acidity (Acetic Acid Content) Measurement: The acetic acid content, which determines the basic quality of the vinegar, is continuously monitored with precise instruments to ensure compliance with standards.
- pH Value Analysis: pH levels, critical for the product’s stability and shelf life, are meticulously measured.
- Sensory Analysis: Products are evaluated by expert panelists for sensory characteristics such as color, odor, and taste to confirm their suitability for the brand identity.
- Microbiological Analyses: Regular tests for pathogens and spoilage microorganisms are performed to ensure that the products are completely safe for human health. The health of the vinegar mother and fermentation culture is continuously monitored.
- Hygienic Production Conditions: Our facilities operate in full compliance with international food safety and ethical trade certifications such as BRCGS, IFS, KOSHER, HALAL, and SEDEX. Hygiene in vinegar production is vitally important for product quality and safety, and the highest standards are applied in this regard.
- Flexible Packaging Solutions: We deliver your products in glass bottles, PET packaging, or bulk formats, with your desired weight and labeling options.
