At Morouj, Al-Farasha Tomato Ketchup is produced with a commitment to “Harvesting Excellence.” We bridge the gap between rich agricultural sourcing and international safety standards to ensure every bottle delivers a consistent, vibrant flavor and a safe dining experience.
1. Premium Raw Material Sourcing
Quality begins in the field. Our QA process starts with the selection of the finest sun-ripened tomatoes.
Brix Level Testing: We measure the natural sugar and solid content of our tomato paste to ensure a rich, thick consistency without excessive fillers.
Color & Purity: Every batch is screened for the deep red pigment (lycopene) that signifies natural ripeness and high nutritional value.
2. Advanced Sterilization & Processing
To maintain a long shelf life without compromising taste, Al-Farasha Ketchup is processed in a state-of-the-art facility:
Thermal Processing: We utilize precise pasteurization techniques to eliminate spoilage microorganisms while preserving the natural zest of the spices and vinegar.
Viscosity Control: Automated sensors monitor the flow and “body” of the ketchup, ensuring the perfect pour every time—never too watery, never too thick.
3. International Safety Certifications
Our production lines are governed by global food safety management systems:
HACCP Compliant: We maintain strict Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points to prevent contamination at every stage, from mixing to bottling.
ISO Standards: Our facilities adhere to ISO 22000 standards, ensuring that our food safety management is recognized internationally.
4. Laboratory Analysis & Sensory Testing
Before any bottle of Al-Farasha leaves our facility, it undergoes a multi-point inspection:
Acidity & pH Balance: Precise testing of vinegar and salt levels ensures a stable shelf life and the signature Al-Farasha tang.
Microbiological Screening: Independent lab tests confirm the absence of pathogens.
Organoleptic Evaluation: Our quality team performs daily “taste and texture” audits to ensure the flavor profile remains identical across every production run.
5. Precision Packaging & Integrity
The Al-Farasha bottle is designed for both convenience and protection:
Induction Sealing: We use advanced sealing technology to create an airtight barrier, preventing oxidation and maintaining “first-day” freshness.
Traceability: Every bottle is laser-coded with a batch number and expiration date, allowing for full “seed-to-shelf” traceability across our global distribution network.
