Saar
Frozen Vegetable Factory
Saar is the Originia Foods plant that specializes in the production and marketing of deep-frozen vegetables. Since its founding in 1987 in the province of Zaragoza, it has worked with a carefully selected range of vegetables from the Ebro Valley, one of the leading agricultural regions for this type of crop.
Located in Ejea de los Caballeros, Saar combines proximity to the source, agronomic expertise, and IQF deep-freezing technology to offer high-quality frozen vegetables tailored to the needs of the food industry, the retail sector, and the food service industry.
Frozen vegetables from the Ebro Valley
Saar’s location allows the company to work with raw materials sourced close to the plant, reducing the time between harvest and processing. This proximity is key to better preserving the natural properties of the vegetables, as well as their flavor, texture, and nutritional value.
The vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and processed within a few hours using IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology, an individual quick-freezing system that helps maintain product quality and facilitates their subsequent use in professional kitchens, industrial processes, and distribution channels.
Production of frozen vegetables for various distribution channels
At Saar, we develop solutions tailored to different business models. The plant produces frozen vegetables for food manufacturers, catering companies, foodservice operators, distributors, and retail chains.
This adaptability allows us to work with different formats, cuts, blends, and preparations based on each customer’s needs—from vegetable ingredients for industrial processes to products ready for use in professional kitchens or for sale through distribution channels.
