Infrusesa
Juice and processed fruit factory
Infrusesa is the Originia Foods facility specializing in the processing of fruits and vegetables to produce purees, juices, concentrates, creams, and smoothies. Founded in 1983 and located in Soses, Lleida, it is situated in a strategic area between Catalonia and Aragon, in the heart of one of the European Union’s largest sweet fruit-producing regions.
At Infrusesa, we process fruits and vegetables using physical methods, without chemical treatments, combining minimal handling with advanced technology to preserve product quality year-round. Our processing and aseptic preservation capabilities allow us to develop solutions for the food industry, retail, and food service sectors.
Fruit and Vegetable Processing at the Source
Infrusesa’s location allows the company to operate close to the source of its raw materials, a key factor in preserving the natural characteristics of fruits and vegetables. This proximity facilitates more efficient processing, with less time between harvest and processing, and helps ensure the stability of the final product.
The plant uses technology in both the production process and aseptic packaging, with the goal of ensuring that products remain stable, safe, and ready for use in various food applications. This approach allows the plant to offer high-quality processed fruits and vegetables year-round.
Products manufactured by Infrusesa
Infrusesa develops a wide range of fruit and vegetable products designed to meet various food applications and market needs.
Smoothies, Cold-Pressed Juices, and HPP Juices
We develop smoothies and cold-pressed and HPP juices using combinations of fruits, vegetables, and other carefully selected ingredients. High-pressure processing (HPP) technology preserves the product while better maintaining its organoleptic characteristics—such as flavor, color, and texture—without the need for aggressive heat treatments.
Fruit purees
We produce fruit purees from raw materials selected at their peak of ripeness. These products are packaged in pouches for the food service sector and in tubs for the institutional and retail distribution sectors. They can be enjoyed as desserts or compotes.
NFC Juices
We produce NFC (not from concentrate) juices made directly from fruits and vegetables, without undergoing a prior concentration process. These products are designed for customers looking for fresh-squeezed juices with a more natural profile and a closer resemblance to fresh produce.
Cremogenates
Fruit cremogenates provide a uniform and stable texture while preserving the essence of the processed fruit. They are a particularly attractive solution for industrial applications that require consistency, constant quality, and ease of incorporation into various formulations. These are versatile products for the food industry, particularly useful in the production of beverages, desserts, jams, fruit preparations, dairy products, and ready-to-drink solutions.
Vegetable Soups
The plant produces vegetable creams that are ready to eat or can be adapted for various formats, made from carefully selected plant-based ingredients. These solutions are designed for consumers looking for practical, healthy products that are easy to prepare, both in retail and in food service.
Quality, Food Safety, and Preservation
Infrusesa’s operations are based on controlled processes and quality systems designed to ensure food safety, product stability, and the traceability of raw materials.
The plant uses preservation technologies tailored to the type of product and the needs of each customer, ranging from aseptic solutions to refrigerated processes and high-pressure technologies. This approach allows the plant to offer safe, versatile products that meet the demands of both the domestic and international markets.
