In order to improve the quality of its products, the SME El Cachito S.R.L., located in the municipality of Cacocum, Holguin, is committed to diversifying its raw materials. To meet the diverse demands of the population and offer healthier products.
Dedicated to the preparation and marketing of dairy products, including ice cream and its ingredients. Its non-state-owned management prioritizes the use of natural, organic compounds and essences over chemicals. Which improves their flavor and makes them more nutritious, Jorge Luis Leyva Batista, the company’s manager, explained exclusively to CNA.
Among the ingredients used are seasonal fruit pulp, mainly guava and mango. As well as chocolate purchased in Baracoa, used in the production of cocoa and synthetic chocolate ice cream.
To ensure the supply of raw materials, Leyva Batista commented that they have established strategic alliances with local producers, thus contributing to regional development. These include the Antonio Maceo Agricultural Company and various small-scale industries specializing in the processing of canned goods.
One of the innovations is the industrialization of semi-organic recipes that incorporate buffalo milk. Eliminating the use of vegetable fats and whole milk. This has a significant impact on the community. Especially in providing nutritional support to children and the elderly, he emphasized.
With the aim of satisfying a wide range of customers, the SME imports extracts in 17 flavors. Some characteristic of Italian ice cream, such as mascarpone, muscatel, and heavy cream. Although there are uncommon in the region, are widely accepted.
Futhermore solid bases are one of the most in-demand offerings for wholesalers, as they add milk, flavoring, stabilizers, emulsifiers, and preservatives during the pasteurization, ripening, and homogenization processes. Ensuring higher yields and allowing the production of up to 50 liters of ice cream per 10-liter container.
In addition, they added that they have contracts with entities of the Business Group of Commerce and Gastronomy and the Food Production and Distribution Company (Numa by its initials in Spanish). Also with branches in Rafael Freyre, Gibara, Urbano Noris, and Piedra Blanca. Expanding access to the population through sales from their network of establishments.
With an installed capacity exceeding 500 liters per day, the MSME El Cachito S.R.L. is the creator of the Rikoo Brand. Present in more than 20 communities in Holguin through a project in collaboration with the municipal government.
