Expertise
Alvinesa Natural Ingredients is a “circular economy” leader of sustainable plant-based ingredients. We upcycle raw materials, such as Vitis vinifera wine grapes, into valuable natural ingredients that promote healthy living. Alvinesa sells an extensive range of natural products made from grape and olive pomace, including organic, for use in the nutraceutical, food, beverage, animal health, wine-making and cosmetics and personal care industries. The portfolio includes a wide selection of polyphenols, colors (anthocyanins), wine concentrates, natural tartaric acid, grapeseed oil and alcohols. Alvinesa controls a sustainable, traceable, and waste prevention supply chain. For example, we source the highest quality, no- and low- pesticide raw materials mainly from Spain’s fertile Castilla-La Mancha and Catalonia regions. We have 100% raw material traceability for our grape seed and grape skin extract ingredients. Alvinesa transforms 100% of the raw materials it sources into ingredients that are used to produce a range of mostly consumer products for global markets. In this way, Alvinesa preserves global food supplies by not destroying food to make ingredients and utilizises 100% of the raw materials with zero waste. Applying 70 years of technical expertise, Alvinesa manufactures its ingredients to unsurpassed quality standards at its low-carbon footprint, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility. Instead of chemical solvents, only water is used for gentle extraction, which preserves natural goodness.
