The high quality of Morettino coffee receives another prestigious award: the top score by the international certification IFS Food, the authority that guarantees the safety of the food that consumers purchase worldwide.
A proud moment for the historical artisanal roastery from Palermo, among few roasteries in Italy to receive the highest score from the certification authority.
IFS Food is one of the most important certifications in the world: a fundamental international standard for the management and safety in the food sector, which allows certified companies to identify the risks they are exposed to, to effectively manage them and to provide guarantees with regards to the legislative compliance, suggesting how to manage and verify the needs of a company organization created for food safety.
In short, the IFS Food certification guarantees lawfulness, safety and quality of the products.
In the coffee world it is increasingly necessary to implement an information campaign and transparence with regards to the consumers, with the goal of stimulating awareness on the production chain, on the production methods and on the wholesomeness of all the products that are regularly consumed, such as coffee.
It is important to pay attention to the products with excessively low prices, often synonym of overlooking the quality of the raw material or on the ethics of production.
THE IFS FOOD VERIFICATIONS
IFS Food is a voluntary standard, meaning that the company chooses to undergo accurate verifications and to respect very restrictive parameters, even stricter than those provided for by law, to guarantee to its consumers the highest certified quality.
The IFS Food verification is based on audits carried out by professionals with significant knowledge on the specific production techniques, who perform a verification on the maintenance of the standards for workplace, products, processes, suppliers and company personnel.
Among analysis and monitoring that are performed, there are those on the raw materials, on packaging and on the final products, respecting the health standards (HACCP) throughout the site and tracking systems.
THE PAYOFF OF RESEARCH FOR QUALITY
For the past two years, Morettino exceeded all the verification phases, obtaining the certifications with the highest score.
This has allowed the Sicilian artisanal coffee roastery to capture the attention of prestigious international retailers that are interested in quality products Made in Italy and is proof of the potential of small producers that pursue quality with dedication.
All of this was possible thanks to the constant work that for years the team of the Morettino Quality Lab carries out, monitoring the quality of the product throughout the entire production chain, from the plantation to the cup, guaranteeing to its consumers a good, healthy and safe coffee.
“We are proud of this additional recognition, which rewards our natural predisposition for quality”, comments Arturo Morettino, head of Research & Development.
