About bio-verde
bio-verde was founded in 1983 and is an owner-managed company for organic natural delicacies based in Eresing, about 40 kilometers southwest of Munich. Since 1990, the company has worked 100% in organic quality. The range includes more than 200 delicatessen products, including antipasti such as olives, artichoke hearts and dried tomatoes, salads and spreads such as hummus and guacamole, pestos, pasta, cheese and meat specialties as well as fish. Around 60% of the products are processed and refined at the Eresing site. Refinement is carried out predominantly as cold processing without pasteurization or sterilization, which preserves the natural flavor and health-promoting ingredients. Processes include debittering olives in a saltwater bath, marinating with oil and fresh herbs, and pureeing pre-cooked chickpeas for hummus production. bio-verde sources its chickpeas predominantly from contract farming by the Heymann family in Lower Austria, with an annual quantity of more than 40 tonnes and Naturland certification since 2020. All products carry the EU organic logo and are monitored by the control body DE-ÖKO-007.
