How are Sun-Dried  Raisins Produced?

Thompson Raisins are considered the most naturally produced raisins as they undergo no pre-treatment. They are sun-dried by the farmers, so the drying process takes longer than that of other raisins. After losing their water content, grapes (now Thompson Raisins) are sent to the factory to finish processing which includes the following:

• Double washing to remove impurities
• Double Laser sorting to remove defects
• Visual sorting for size and defects
• X-ray sorting to remove foreign objects
• Metal detection to sort out foreign objects
• End product fumigation to remove insects and eggs
• Stemming 

To select top-quality raw materials, we perform a knowledge-based analysis that keeps records of the vineyards in the region. Dried grapes that have the most compatibility with our quality standards can continue the processing.
