Products - Raw Peanuts

OLEGA is one of the most important producers, processors and shippers of argentine peanuts. The important farming capacity of the company enables it to guarantee a significant part of its peanuts, allowing to control all the process from the seed farming to the elaboration of the finished product. In the processing plant located in Charras, Province of Cordoba, we receive, clean, dry and store the inshells from the fields. Recently built, opened in June 2010, the new processing plant is one of the most modern plans that are currently in operation in the country, with a daily capacity of 350 tonnes of peanuts (HPS), producing high quality product and virtually free of foreign materials and meeting the highest quality demands of the international market. Its facilities include a storage capacity of more than 75.000 tonnes of peanuts and an extensive conditioning and drying plant.

The first step in the production chain is the Agricultural Department, formed by agronomists with great experience in farming peanuts in association with top level producers. The farming is produced mainly in the South of Cordoba. In the last years, OLEGA focused in the improvement of its farming operation, implementing the seed elaboration process in an independent plant, in order to segregate and process pure seed. As a result, we achieve to have pure seed and 100% high oleic peanuts in our own plantings, obtaining better agronomic performance in quality and quantity.

When the process is finished, the peanuts are stores in cold warehouses to keep its quality unchanged. The complete process is done under strict quality and safety measures, implemented under the HACCP system. This processing plant has the British Retail Consortium (BRC) Certification. To conclude, the product is shipped to our own shipping terminal or to our blanching facilities, located both in Florencio Varela, Province of Buenos Aires, near to the Port of Buenos Aires.
