Production process   Harissa

The pimiento crop spreads out from october to december.

Upon receipt, the pimientos are manually sorted by workers, they are then washed and rinsed. After rinsing, they pass into a cooker where they undergo a grind going with a thermal treatment. We obtain this way a blend of juice, seeds and epidermis.

This blend passes through a sieve through which we collect the pimiento juice.

The juice passes into concentration balls in order to obtain a concentrated in the order of 14% minimum.
Then, we add spices (salt, coriander, caraway)

In fact, the spices that constitute an ingredient for the harrissa concentrated have to undergo the following operations :

  • Sieving.
  • Grinding and refining.
  • Dosage.

The harissa concentrated passes through a pasteurizer where it undergoes a thermal treatment of 92°C. The remainder of the manufacturing process is identical to the double concentrated tomato puree one, namely :

  • Dosage
  • Crimping
  • Pasteurization
  • Packaging
  • Storage
