Ontad’s Expertise and Control in Cold Mezze Production
Quality in mezze production is directly related to the freshness of the raw materials and the precision of the production process. Ontad’s production process is built on a system where this precision is maintained at every step:
- Raw Material Selection: All vegetables and herbs used in production, such as chickpeas, eggplants, tomatoes, and peppers, are sourced from reliable suppliers. From raw material entry, all products undergo freshness and quality control.
- Custom Recipe Development and Optimization: You can share your brand’s special mezze recipes with us, or our R&D team can develop new recipes suitable for market trends. Recipes are adapted for industrial production to ensure consistency in taste and texture.
- Laboratory Analyses and Quality Assurance: Every production batch undergoes comprehensive analyses in our advanced laboratory:
- pH and Acidity Analysis: The pH value and acidity levels, which affect the shelf life and microbiological stability of the mezze, are meticulously measured.
- Sensory Analysis: Products are evaluated by expert panelists for sensory characteristics such as consistency, color, smell, and taste.
- Microbiological Analyses: Regular tests for pathogens and spoilage microorganisms are conducted to ensure that the products are completely safe for human health.
- 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. Our production, filling, and packaging lines are designed to ensure that the cold chain is maintained without interruption.
