Activity Description
COASA is a company specialised in the elaboration and distribution of local, traditionally-made foodstuffs. It groups and supervises a local network of small businesses with proprietary production centres; coordinating the quality control, packaging and distribution processes.
Although the approach to origin and handling of ingredients is intrinsically traditional, business common sense calls attention to the need for industrial aspects to take on an increased relevance, which shows in the progressive integration of innovative technological processes.
Products and Services
The ample choice of products can be classified into five areas:
- Handmade cheese -with close to fifty varieties
- Canned fish and shellfish recipes
- Cured sausage (traditional or game) and apple cider (traditional, non-carbonated and wine-like, "new expression")
- Honey and jams from collected wild berries and fruits cultivated in ecological farms
- Fruit liqueurs and spirits, cider from autochthonous apples
COASA internally trains the staff of the production units in food handling and processing - a training service that is also commercially offered to external clients.
