From field to filled drum

Tomatoes are harvested in the Nile Delta from June to September and processed into paste the same day they arrive. The steps below are the ones your COA reflects.
  1. Farm workers hand-picking ripe tomatoes into plastic crates in a Nile Delta field

    1 · June – September

    Harvest

    Tomatoes are picked at peak ripeness from Nile Delta farms during the summer season, when Brix and colour are naturally at their highest.

  2. Truck loaded with crates of fresh tomatoes arriving at a factory intake weighbridge

    2 · Within hours

    Same-Day Transport

    Fresh fruit moves from field to factory the same day it is picked, minimizing the time between harvest and processing to protect flavour and colour.

  3. Fresh tomatoes moving along a washing and sorting conveyor inside a tomato processing plant

    3 · Same day

    Hot & Cold Break Processing

    Depending on the grade, tomatoes are crushed hot (higher viscosity, thicker body) or cold (brighter flavour, standard consistency) before evaporation to the target Brix.

  4. Technician checking a tomato paste sample at an in-line sampling point on the factory floor

    4 · Continuous

    In-Line Testing

    Our lab checks Brix, colour value and Bostwick consistency at intervals through the run, adjusting the process to keep every batch inside spec.

  5. Aseptic filling station with foil bags being filled inside blue steel drums beside a stainless steel control cabinet

    5 · Same line

    Aseptic Filling

    Paste is filled and sealed into sterile bag-in-drum, cans, jars or sachets on the same production line, without exposure to open air.

  6. Automated canning line: TOMEX-branded tins passing an inline inspection station before packing

    6 · Before shipment

    COA Issued

    Every batch is issued its own Certificate of Analysis before it leaves the factory, so what ships matches exactly what was tested.
