Born where the tree grows.
Our plant sits in the highlands where the tree grows. The fruit comes from wild trees in the region.
Cacimbo. The dry-season mist of the highlands, and the trees that stand in it.

Where we come from
Waku-Kungo, in the highlands of Angola. This is where our plant is, and where every bottle starts. The fruit comes in from wild trees in Cuanza Sul and Cuanza Norte, collected by the people who live there.
Fruttita is made by Fazenda 27, our food company in the highlands of Angola. We make the juice, the milk and the tomato sauce that Angolans put on almost everything, and we have processed múcua for the local market for years. Fruttita is the brand we built to take the fruit abroad the way people drink it in Angola: pulp and water, nothing else. Fazenda means farm. 27 was the farm's number.
Everything starts with the pulp, which we process here. The Pouch is made and packed here too, and ships abroad as it is. For the Shot, we send the pulp to our partner plant in Vietnam, which specialises in glass bottling, and it ships from there. One source, two ways out, so each market gets supplied the way it needs.
Where we come from, this fruit is ordinary food. It is picked from wild trees and eaten as it is, and has been for longer than anyone can remember. We think that is exactly how it should reach you. So we do as little to it as we can: the fruit, water, and the fiber left where it settles. No formula to explain, nothing to improve. A good thing from the wild, kept as close to itself as we can manage.
