When you think organic passion fruit, you think Ocati from Columbia. For more than 10 years, we have worked with the passionate Sergio Lloreda and his Ocati team. In Columbia, they call passion fruit 'Gulupa'.
Passion fruit is enjoying increasing popularity in Europe. Not surprisingly, as this tasty superfruit is packed with vitamins, antioxidants and fibre and has a low glycaemic index. Magnesium and alkaloids in passion fruit also help reduce stress.
At Ocati, everything revolves around three core values:
Ocatie is committed to the welfare of its employees. Through a financial fund set up by Ocati, employees can save at favourable interest rates and build their own homes inexpensively. In addition, Ocati provides eight university scholarships annually to employees children.
Ocati is the first grower who has managed to offer passion fruit year-round via boat freight. Even after travelling from Columbia, the quality is excellent.
Every six months, there is a peak in passion fruit production. The peak in December, ensures sufficient supply around the Holidays. The next peak is in the coming months of June and July.
Passion fruit is not only delicious to eat on its own, but also perfect in a smoothie, dessert, salad dressing or as a popsicle. Click here for recipes and more info on grower Ocati.
