Fresh and frozen raw material sourcing
We understand that reliable raw material sourcing involves more than finding the right product.
Depending on customer requirements and supplier availability, La Cantina coordinates the sourcing of fresh and frozen Category 3 animal raw materials.
Our approach focuses on four essential elements:
- Product specifications: Species, product composition, fat content, preparation and packaging requirements.
- Quality coordination: Supplier follow-up, traceability, quality documentation and the handling of non-conformities.
- Logistics: Transport planning, temperature requirements, delivery coordination and returnable container management.
- Documentation: Coordination of commercial documents and communication between suppliers, transport partners and customers.
We work directly with our partners to develop practical sourcing arrangements tailored to their production requirements.
