Healthy Food Ibérica is a pioneer in the development of unsaturated fats to accompany the food industry on the road to the new food.
Our first project, Verdeo, consists of a vegetable fat made from olive oil, which remains solid and stable at room temperature, opening an infinite universe of new applications and opportunities for the formulation of new recipes and products.
Through a natural process and composition, we obtain a homogeneous technical fat, stable and easy to incorporate in a multitude of food categories.
R&D+i TRACK RECORD
After the success of the application of the new ingredient in a variety of products from his bakery, such as cakes, croissants and chocolates with olive oil, Sergio assembles a team to shape the project and obtain the necessary funding to share his secret with the rest of the world.
As each culinary technique or industrial process requires a fat with certain physical and organoleptic characteristics, we continue to innovate until we find the optimum Verdeo solution for each application.
First prototypes at artisan level.
Verdeo Project.
Healthy Food Ibérica is born.
Our continuous commitment to innovation receives the recognition of an entire sector. We received the innovation award at the World Olive Oil Exhibition 2020.
Verdeo receives the AZTI Healthy Eating Award at the Food 4 Future Expo FoodTech 2021.
For the development of new bakery products without butter and palm oil from the sanitization of traditionally indulgent products such as croissants, muffins, doughnuts and brioche.
INNOVATION
Verdeo has become a catalyst for disruptive innovation in food:
Substituting butter and margarine for the unsaturated fats present in olive oil with Verdeo.
Spain is the world’s leading producer of olive oil and chooses sustainable and local ingredients without sacrificing the excellent technical characteristics of conventional margarines.
Avoid the use of preservatives and other additives by reducing the number of ingredients in your new launches. The antioxidant properties of the olive oil contained in Verdeo will extend the shelf life of your products and prevent rancidity.
Unlike butter, Verdeo is suitable for vegans and vegetarians. In addition, it is allergen-free, gluten-free and appeals to the palates of all kinds of people.
No more failed experiments
Many have tried, but our long experience has allowed us to incorporate our new olive oil-based ingredient into a wide variety of products and processes quickly and successfully:
Achieve previously unattainable textures with liquid olive oil
