Our fruit sourcing programme aims to embed sustainability and transparency through the entire value chain, from the sourcing of raw materials to the usage of products by customers and consumers.
In the UK, Puratos Fourayes brings to life our commitment to sourcing local fruits and specific varieties for a differentiated taste, while offering transparency to customers and consumers. The BRC AA+ rated factory is surrounded by 100-acres of English Bramley apple orchard. Using apples from our orchards and soft fruits from other local farms, Puratos Fourayes is able to offer field to fork traceability on some of our delicious fillings and jams.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do.
At Puratos Fourayes, we’re proud to be Red Tractor Farm Assured, alongside our neighbouring farms. We source soft fruits like strawberries and raspberries from local growers whose produce may not meet retailers’ visual standards but are still bursting with flavour and quality. Rather than letting these fruits go to waste, we transform them into delicious jams, purees, and fruit fillings.
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond sourcing. We actively support biodiversity with bug hotels in every orchard to encourage natural pest control, and our on-site beehives play a vital role in pollination. Our advanced water treatment facility ensures that all discharge water is filtered and cleaned, keeping our processes environmentally responsible. Plus, our Dynamically Controlled Atmosphere storage allows us to preserve apples for up to 13 months, significantly reducing fruit waste.
