How long has Campos Brothers Farms been around?
Fermin and Tony Campos moved from Spain to Caruthers, California in 1955 and started their almond operation in 1981.
What makes your hulling and shelling processes special?
Continuous hulling and shelling improvements have resulted in today's fourteen-roller process that has helped us earn and retain an industry-leading role as one of the world's finest natural almond processors. Combine that with our special blend of mechanical, electronic and Elbiscan separators, our hand sorting program and a series of quality assurance stations to manage the process, and we believe our hulling and shelling operation is one of the most accurate and complete you can find.
We want great quality control. Can you provide it?
We believe - and our customers agree - the best-processed almond always starts with the finest natural almond. So, we pride ourselves on our quality control at each stage of the operation and the customer satisfaction it creates. Our best-practices quality control program begins in our winter fields and continues through the entire harvest management process, manufacturing functions, and distribution period.
Do you have a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) program?
Campos Brothers Farms embraces the Almond Board of California's Food Quality and Safety Program (FQSP) as the starting point for our own multi-step program that assures the Campos Brothers almonds are produced in the safest, most responsible manner that modern science enables. We let our customers meet or exceed their highest product and process specifications while demonstrating the highest respect for natural resources and the people who produce our almonds.
We use the Almond Board's Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) and Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures (SSOPs) as the minimum standard for our own Campos Brothers Farms Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HAACP) program.
What's the "Campos Blanching Difference"?
We think it is found in five elements that we manage precisely:
- Consistent incoming product
- Longer blanching and drying cycles operating at lower temperatures
- Smoother temperature transitions that let us maintain inherent color
- Our experienced staff that uses ambient air and refrigerated cooling to improve year-round product consistency
- Our ability to individually manufacture product to the exact specifications of individual orders.
What is the Campos Commitment to Quality?
Three commitments we make to ourselves...for ourselves and our customers...
- Reducing costly mistakes with superior service
- Becoming your most dependable vendor relationship
- Delivering on every promise to each and every customer
