Frequently asked questions about bar manufacturing

What manufacturing process do you use in your factory?

We use a slab forming process to manufacture our cereal bars, protein bars, energy bars…

First, we bring all the liquid elements of our formulation to a boil. Afterwards, we mix it with the solid ingredients. This blend is then sent to our production line where the bars are shaped, cut and packaged.

This manufacturing process preserves the natural qualities of the ingredients and the nutritional values of our bars.
