Compacto
Characteristics
COMPACTO® is our newest and most refined product technology. Compacto is an ideal product for restaurants and artisanal sauce industries. Our traditional fermented mash goes through a mechanical process designed by Hugo Restrepo & Cia to extract part of its water to achieve a paste that is concentrated. It contains salt for its preservation and acetic acid to guarantee its PH stability and optimal fermentation.
