The natural orange juice for sale at BAGGA cafeterias, and their home delivery via BAGGA Delivery, which is squeezed in the moment, uses the same oranges as well. This variety of &#8216;juice&#8217; oranges is distinguished by its lack of navel, and beeing sweeter with a high juice content.\r\n\r\nThe Continente Producers\u2019 Club (CPC), in partnership with its producers, guarantees that the best agricultural practices are used in the orchards of the Algarve, resulting in a fruit of excellence. Continente\u2019s Algarve orange is harvested by hand and at its optimum point of flavour.\r\n\r\nThe two thousand acres of orchards are distributed between Tavira and Silves and belong to about 100 producers that make up the four Producers\u2019 Organizations that are Continente Producers\u2019 Club\u2019s Members. Algarve oranges have PGI certification &#8211; Protected Geographical Indication &#8211; which certifies that the product has a certain quality, reputation or other characteristics that can be essentially attributed to its geographical origin.\r\n\r\nOndina Afonso, Continente Producers\u2019 Club\u2019s President, says that \u201cthe security we feel in relation to the quality of the Algarve oranges produced by our producers, allowed us to diversify the offer through the availability of Algarve orange juice in our stores, precisely at a time when our customers are looking for food that can boost their immunity\u201d.\r\n\r\nContinente, through the technicians of the Producers&#8217; Club, works daily with national producers, investigating and selecting the best products to meet the needs of its customers.\r\nSales of Portuguese products in Continente stores have been progressively increasing, with more than 160 thousand tonnes of agrifood goods being acquired in the last year, including exclusive products of certified origin such as oranges from the Algarve, apples from Alcoba\u00e7a and Beira Alta or the West \u201crocha\u201d pear.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In 2021, Continente will acquire 14.5 thousand tonnes of oranges from the Algarve from national producers, 5% more than in [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[158,161,164,168,197,175,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-continente-en","category-continente-mission","category-environment","category-healthy-food","category-national-products","category-news","category-sustainability"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.8 -
