Production process

Our production process is unique in its kind, also thanks to the processing that is carried out starting from the procurement of the raw material. In this connection, with our partners in Sardinia, we use an integrated production cycle.
The Process
Our production process is unique in its kind, also thanks to the processing that is carried out starting from the procurement of the raw material. In this connection, with our partners in Sardinia, we use an integrated production cycle.
The curing of the strips lasts about 10-15 months, and these are positioned vertically, thus ensuring effective dropping of impurities and red powders and also preventing rain and bad weather from allowing formation of humid and harmful residues in the cavities of the cork. Subsequently, they are boiled at about 93°C -95° C in water and food adjuvant that eliminates and prevents formation of microorganisms during the post-boiling phase. In this way, the waiting times for the die-cut are considerably reduced, thus improving the reclamation processes.
Finishing touches
Upon arrival of the raw corks at our warehouses, samples are taken to proceed with internal and external analyses. We proceed to establish the suitability of the analyzed batches with “GOLD” sanitization. This is a physical-mechanical treatment invented and developed by us, based on absorption and transfer of products with active ingredients that penetrate to the center of each single cork, thus eliminating any of their defects (duration 40 days). We then proceed with the selection of classes and printing of the customer's logo. Subsequently, another fundamental process begins, that of lubrication, which, through the innovative PRE-COATING system, ensures elimination of any residue that is often the cause of off-flavors.
"The raw material is what makes our production process unique in its kind."
