Suppliers
Santagata purchases raw materials only from qualified suppliers, long-standing collaborators of the company – present on the local, national and European markets. The company also carries out specific analyses and professional tastings at the supplier’s mill, through samples sent to the company and upon arrival at the company.
Storage
If everything is in order, the oil is placed in special stainless-steel tanks, placed inside a suitable warehouse where a temperature no higher than 20°C is maintained, to preserve the oxidation process. The tanks have been specifically designed to minimize the contact of the oil with the air and continuously eliminate the sediment that is created by the deposit of the olive particles still present in the oil must. Before being sent to the end customer, the oil is subjected to a further check and then loaded for transport to the customer.
Transport and logistics
According to the customer’s needs, Santagata arranges supply and transport for a minimum order quantity and in different formats agreed with the customer:
- 190 kg high quality metal drums for edible products (diameter 580 mm, height: 880 mm, gross weight: 211 kg). The delivery service is only available for disposable drums.
- 1,000-liter plastic containers with galvanized steel frame, dimensions compliant with ISO standards, interlocking stacking compatible with European standards. If requested, the filling service for customer-owned tanks is available.
- Pallecons containing 1,000-liter disposable sterile bags.
- Tanks with a capacity of 2.5 tons. Our trucks – with a capacity of 11 and 8 tons – deliver stainless steel tanks with a capacity of 2.5 tons/each.
Santagata distributes worldwide, assisting the customer in identifying the shipping methods best suited to their needs and to guarantee the highest quality of the product. Together with the product, it always delivers to the customer the results of the laboratory analysis and – to those who request it – the evaluation of the Panel test, carried out by the experts of the Customs Office of Genoa which is COI certified.
