As a keen guardian of taste and of nature, Cuyen produces
its fruit specialities by means
of traditional cooking methods and using only natural and
organic ingredients.
The following are the basis for Cuyen’s gourmet quality
products and the reason it has obtained prestige and recognition:
No chemicals
Cuyen uses no agro-chemicals at all: no fertilisers, herbicides
or chemical soil improvers.
This ensures long-term sustainability and guarantees that
its produce is innocuous, posing
no threat to the health of the consumers. The processing of
bottled products is also completely organic. Cuyen uses no
artificial additives such as colourings, preservatives and
the like.
Best quality fruit
Soft fruits are renowned for their nutritional and healing
properties (high in Vitamin C, fibre
and potassium), which are enhanced when they are grown and
processed without introducing
alien substances. Cuyen’s fresh fruit has won many awards
at the Feria Nacional de la Fruta Fina (Argentina's national
soft-fruit exhibition); it is that same award-winning fruit
that is used for
our processed products.
Purity of water
Cuyen not only abstains from the use of chemical additives;
the water it employs for irrigation
and processing comes straight from high-mountain snowmelt.
This doubly ensures the production of healthy fruit, with
its nutritional and healing properties intact.
Traditional cooking methods
Products are made by hand, in small batches, which allows
jar-by-jar control. Cooking takes place
in open pans, on a slow fire, stirring gently with wooden
spoons so as to preserve all the natural qualities of the
fruit.
Total quality control
The quality of Cuyen's production is permanently monitored
with the technical assistance of professionals who ensure
that best manufacturing practices are employed, and that a
close watch
is kept on the critical points of the processing chain.
