Zero Pesticide residue almonds
The almonds are of Spanish origin and are of special variety known for their sweet taste. These Almonds stand out for the Zero pesticide residue which means, pesticide residues are below 0.01 mg/kg or 0.01 ppm, a standard verified by an authorized independent European lab. The consumer can verify this by scanning the QR code on the pack and by entering the batch number to see the certificate. Achieving this precision requires careful farming practices and a controlled production process that provides quality products. They are lightly roasted, crunchy, and have a rich flavor.
To enhance the snacking experience of Indian consumers, Borges India has made available two references/options/variants of the ZPR Almonds.
- Blanched & Roasted Almonds
- Roasted almonds with skin
These almonds are not only gluten-free but also packed with High Fiber and Protein, making them an excellent choice for a healthy lifestyle. These versatile almonds are perfect for snacking, adding to salads, or even using in baking. Borges ZPR Almonds exemplify a commitment to delivering high-caliber products while prioritizing consumer health and safety.
Single-variety olive oils
Building on its market success with olive oils and other Mediterranean products, the brand has expanded its portfolio with two distinct extra virgin olive oils made with a single variety of olives. Each is crafted to cater to the discerning palate of the consumer. Fruity extra virgin olive oil is made from 100% Arbequina olives, known for its sweet and gentle flavor which is perfect for salad dressings, low-heat cooking, greens, pasta, and soups.
Character extra virgin olive oil is made from 100% Picual olives known for a bold, intense taste with a hint of spice for enhancing grilled meats, seafood roasted vegetables, and salad dressings. It is also considered an excellent base for onion and garlic sauces.
With these new offerings, Borges premium categories embrace the evolving palates of Indian consumers, delivering authentic Mediterranean flavors. These oils bring versatility and taste to cooking. Both oils are healthy as they are cold-pressed and are rich in Mono-unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidants. The new ranges of Borges India products are now available across online & offline channels, making it easier for consumers across India to access these premium, health-focused products.
