Our Process
Thoughtfully designed to help preserve the natural integrity of spirulina at every stage.
Cultivation
Carefully managed cultivation under monitored environmental conditions.
Harvest
Harvested at the optimal growth stage to preserve its natural nutritional profile.
Gentle Dewatering
Excess moisture is gently reduced while maintaining biomass integrity.
Refractance Window Drying
Low-temperature drying technology selected to help preserve naturally occurring nutrients, pigments and colour.
Packaging
Packed in food-grade packaging to protect freshness and product quality.
Where Preservation Begins
Refractance Window Drying
Conventional Drying
Higher temperatures can reduce heat-sensitive compounds and affect the natural colour and nutritional profile of spirulina.
The Alvara Approach
Refractance Window Drying is a low-temperature technology selected to help preserve naturally occurring phycocyanin, chlorophyll, carotenoids, colour and aroma.
Every stage of the Alvara process is designed with one purpose— to help preserve the naturally occurring integrity of spirulina.
