San Juan Plant
Raisin Processing Plant in San Juan
Geographical Location and Raw Materials
The main regions of origin of the raisins are located in the Argentine provinces of:
San Juan: characterized by a very dry climate and high temperatures, its geography makes it an optimal place for the cultivation and drying of grapes.
La Rioja: this province has a dry and warm climate favorable for the cultivation and production of raisins. In the province, DOV (dry on vine) is used, where the grapes are dried on the vineyard and not on the ground (stone beds). This allows the final product to have a higher safety and innocuousness degree (almost free of mineral residues and foreign matters).
