Our products are divided as follows:
Popcorn belonging to the Biofactor line is organic, while popcorn belonging to the Nature line is conventional.
Be careful, however!
Nature popcorn, however, is free of pesticide residues, that is, with maximum allowable pesticide residues less than or equal to 0.01 mg/Kg, suitable for a vegan diet, and GMO-free.
Popcorn should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from sources of light and heat
Absolutely.
Biofactor respects everyone’s health; in fact, each product is suitable for a vegan or gluten-free diet.
Our commitment to sustainability is ensured through our organic farming method and Biosuisse, which includes a rotation plan that respects soil fertility and also the use of green manure.
Biosuisse certification also guarantees biodiversity, which we respect by having bees, melliferous flowers and natural oases to preserve flora and fauna.
We initially carry out “trial fields” where multiple variety lines provided by seed companies are tested; then, based on the results, we are able to understand which variety is best suited to carry out extensive cultivation. It is important to continuously test current and new varieties to promote product quality improvement.
We ensure the exclusive use of “natural” organic fertilization processes, with products allowed by organic farming. We ensure the use of equipment that allows the eradication of weeds while respecting the very canons of organic farming and looking for crops that do not present problems related to phytopathologies, while, in the event that attacks on crops by insects or other pests occur, these are managed and treated with systems congruous and appropriate for organic farming.
We make the most traditional manual techniques, rich in the peasant history of our lands, coexist with the most sophisticated mechanical procedures and technologically advanced irrigation systems. With regard to corn, we use specific combines exclusively for this crop to ensure a gluten-free product without contamination. Our machines are set with a special setting in order to avoid seed breakage, which could cause problems related to aflatoxins.
Our silo storage facility preserves products optimally through constant humidity and temperature control. For beans and peanuts we also place the same care and attention using specific machinery that preserves to maintain the product without damaging or altering it.
The products are processed through a fully automatic process, which begins with a first stage that allows most of the impurities to be removed through specific machinery. This is followed by calibrating the product, then continues by operating a second careful selection, passing the popcorn through a new generation optical sorter to ensure the highest quality of the finished product before packaging.
The latter can be done in various formats depending on the specific needs of customers.
