GUARANTEE
ANTONIO
SOTOS, S.L. guarantees accountability concerning the
origin and composition of its products. To
guarantee that all our products entirely comply with
European and International standards, as well as with
the level and quality required by our customers, the
saffron is analyzed by a specialised Official Laboratory
approved by the Spanish Ministry of Economy, Commerce
and Fraud.
If the results of the
analysis do not fulfill our expectations or our customers
requirements, the batch will be immediately returned
to its source.

TRACEABILITY
It
is as important for our company to know the accurate
origine of the raw material, as for our customer to
know the history of the saffron he is buying.
Traceability allows
us to know at every moment and quickly, the exact
origin and composition of each and every one of our
product.
All the saffron entering
our stores, as well as the final product destined
to our customers, receive a different number for each
batch, which should allows for its prompt identification.

|
HYGIENE
From
the moment saffron is purchased from the farmer, to
the moment it finally reaches the consumer, saffron
undergoes numerous hygiene controls.
Our suppliers of raw
material and packaging, as well as the tranport companies
we work with, have been strictly evaluated on questions
of quality and hygiene.
Our staff participate
in information and training programmes in this area,
being perfectly aware of the importance of hygiene
in a working environment.
