Origin
The vegetables we use at VidaViva Ecofood to obtain our dehydrated vegetables are organically grown on Isla Bonita, which is renowned for its many stunning landscapes. Our plantations, which range from 270 to 800 meters above sea level and are located in the municipality of Tijarafe, are in excellent condition.
Like all the Canary Islands, La Palma is a volcanic island, as a result, in 2021, a volcano erupted on the island, affecting our plantations and crops. Volcanoes not only cause damage, their ashes are also rich in nutrients and are excellent for crops, particularly ours. As a result of these nutrients, the island’s clean air, its natural mountain water and its wonderful hours of sunshine, both our production and quality have increased.
The tomatoes are harvested by hand when they are ready to be picked, after which they undergo a dehydration process and are then seasoned with the other ingredients. After going through the whole process, we have our basil tomato, which is then packaged in glass jars and gives rise to our wonderful product.
