Quality & Responsibility
Using Their Know-How To Support Their Partners

Land
Where they grow is just as important as what they grow. Divina FoodMatch's product development begins with a search for a site that meets the perfect growing conditions for that product, taking into account sunlight, soil composition and micro-climate. Divina FoodMatch also select for locations where these products have been grown traditionally, like their long-stem artichokes from Foggia or their Lucque olives from Languedoc.

Divina FoodMatch is committed to finding the ideal terroir for every item they grow to ensure that they are always starting with raw materials that possess the highest quality color, taste and texture.

A Note from Divina FoodMatch's Quality Assurance Team:
Divina FoodMatch's QA team visits the growing area to evaluate the raw materials grown there. They compare these to others from various regions and determine the most ideal growing location.

Growers
Divina FoodMatch works primarily with small farms and farmers. It's their way of keeping their production process simple, authentic and traceable.

Working with skilled growers on independently owned farms benefits the long-term health of the crop.

Divina FoodMatch has been working with many of the same farms since their start nearly 20 years ago.

A Note from Divina FoodMatch's Quality Assurance Team:
Before the start of each harvest, their QA team compiles lot code specific data from internal reviews, field reports, pesticide analysis results, and customer feedback. Lot codes are traced back to the grower and the region, and this information becomes a critical part of grower selection for the upcoming year.

Harvest
Patience is crucial in creating a great product; olives for example generally take 4-5 months to mature before being picked by hand precisely when they are fully ripe.

During the growing season their growers return to their plantings multiple times to harvest at peak ripeness.

After being collected, their raw materials are hand-sorted for quality, caliber and color among other classifications.

A Note from Divina FoodMatch's Quality Assurance Team:
Divina FoodMatch's QA team trains their partner facilities on Divina organoleptic standards for characteristics such as color, texture and size.

Processing
Divina FoodMatch's diverse product line means that many of their products are uniquely prepared.

They never take short-cuts when it comes to curing and crafting their products.

Divina FoodMatch products are expertly crafted and prepared. From oven-roasted tomatoes, garlic and peppers to hand-trimmed long stem artichokes and hand-stuffed olives, their products save time and labor.

They are proud to have one of the lowest olive pit ratios in the industry. Divina FoodMatch's average pit occurrence is between 0.05-0.1% with a maximum tolerance of 0.25%. This is well below industry standard.

Divina FoodMatch's QA Team evaluates processes on-site and makes adjustments when necessary to improve quality and efficiency.

Preserving
Food safety is their number one concern when it comes to packaging and preserving their products.

Divina FoodMatch's preservation methods, such as packing olives in brine, are designed to accentuate and maintain the product's natural flavor.

Packaging for each item is engineered to preserve optimal texture and appearance throughout production and shipping.

A Note from Divina FoodMatch's Quality Assurance Team:
Divina FoodMatch understands that their customers have a diverse range of applications for their products, so they carefully analyze and select the packaging and packing medium options that best showcase the natural characteristics of the finished product. Divina FoodMatch ensures that every item arrives to you safe, sturdy, and easy to handle and store, allowing each product to maintain excellent quality throughout its full shelf life.

Sustainability
Divina FoodMatch embraces sustainability and biodiversity on all levels by working with growers who respect the land they cultivate; this means regular crop rotation, appropriate acreage density, conscientious irrigation and hands-on care.

Divina FoodMatch was the first supplier in the olive industry to switch from large heavy industrial plastic kegs to lightweight vacuum-packed bags. This led to an 80% reduction in the amount of plastic used and a 10% increase in product volume per container.
