productionA pure culture for production of high quality
Our production process has been developed through our 25 years of experience in the spawn business and is subdivided into five main stages. Each stage provides a different treatment to the spawn ,allowing us to maintain a unique level of control and a highly efficient system.
Cooking
- The first stage is where the raw grain is cooked and mixed with powders ,inside large blenders ,in order to increase its moisture content as much as possible and maintain its friability at the same time.
This system allows us to keep a total control on every parameter at any time. 
Sterilization
- At the second stage of the process the grain is sterilized by following a strict temperature profile to avoid any type of contamination.
Inoculation
- After the grain has been cooled, it is inoculated according to the requested strain of spawn and then bagged.
Incubation
- During the different steps of the incubation period the spawn is grown in a computer controlled environment, which guarantees homogeneous and uniform growth.
Storage and shipping
- When maturity has been reached, the spawn is carefully checked again before being boxed and refrigerated, ready to be shipped.
