進口代理─阿根廷─「SCHEBYE S.A.」鷹嘴豆泥

Located in the city of San Miguel de Tucumán, province of Tucumán, the company is dedicated to the production of chickpea-based hummus, with Kosher and gluten-free certifications. It is a product made with traditional recipes in its four distinctive flavors: the classic with peanut paste, sesame and garlic, parsley and paprika, and sesame with black olives, among others. 

Together with INTI, the company worked on the development of its main product, chickpea hummus, which led Schebye to become the first Argentine company to enter the domestic market with a competitive product and with flavors adapted to the different palates of the world. 

Today there is a trend towards the consumption of healthy and fortified products. This is a consequence of a greater awareness and education regarding health and how food helps to improve life quality.

Chickpea-based hummus is a natural and healthy product because it contains an amino acid called “tryptophan”, which, when consumed in good quantities, produces serotonin, also known as the “happiness hormone”. Additionally, it provides omega-3, which among other qualities sharpens intelligence, helps fight hunger, and maintains blood sugar levels, thanks to its low caloric value.

“We are a young company that hopes to continue developing healthy and nutritious products based on legumes, as well as introducing new flavors to the world's markets,” says Fernando Caracotche, the company's commercial manager. “We plan to grow in response to the demand for food in the world. To this end, we continue to incorporate the latest agricultural technology and add new fields to extend our crops,” he adds.

The product reaches the shelves fresh with preservatives, is vacuum-packed in 250 g, 430 g and 3 kg pots, and has a refrigerated shelf life of 5 months. 

Schebye produces its own brand, Cuisine & Co, for Cencosud chains, which enables it to export to Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Colombia. They also wish to enter the rest of Latin American markets with their other brand, Kamar. 

“Our packaging is a great differential in the shelves compared to similar products. However, we are not only chosen for our quality and flavor, but also because we produce with organic raw materials and we are gluten-free certified; this makes us unique in the market, granting the consumer greater safety when consuming our products”, concludes Fernando Caracotche.
