Frozen extract

Water is applied to extract coffee solids from roasted and granulated beans before evaporating the liquid to a thick, concentrated extract.

Spray dried

Water is evaporated from concentrated coffee extract, which is then sprayed in a drying tower, to achieve particles.

Agglomerated

Spray dried particles are bound together using steam and pressure to produce larger granules.

Freeze dried

Coffee extract is frozen at around -40 °C to freeze and thus remove the free water while retaining the aromas and other attributes that are highly valued.

Processing facilities

As leading soluble coffee supplier, we operate two major soluble coffee processing facilities. Café Outspan in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is Southeast Asia’s largest independent soluble coffee facility. The plant has state-of-the-art manufacturing lines for spray dried, freeze dried, granule and frozen coffee extract in bulk.

In SEDA Outspan in Palencia, Spain we produce and pack coffee. The facility is equipped with a state-of-the-art line with capability to pack soluble products in various private label formats. SEDA is established as the primary partner for major private label brands across Europe.

Our third facility in Brazil is currently under construction and will be operational by Q1, 2023.

For Olam Food Ingredients, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of food and drink ingredients, the alarm rang with the bees.

As one of the world’s largest almond growers, OFI says it spends between $8mn and $11mn a year on honeybees needed to pollinate almond trees. Despite this, productivity on the farms started to decline “because the bees were stressed by their industrialised environment”, says Rishi Kalra, executive director and group chief financial officer. “So, we worked with partners to create natural habitats for bees on our farms and reduce their exposure to agrichemicals. What we saw was that productivity steadily increased.”
