ORIGIN
The Land Makes the Ingredient
Sunlight, soil, climate and a long orchard culture. Good products start with good ingredients.
01
Sun
Uzbekistan lies in a continental climate with many clear days a year. Long, strong sunlight is the most important condition for the color and aroma of fruit.
02
Soil & water
Meltwater from the Tian Shan and a tradition of oasis agriculture — the reason fruit grows in the heart of a dry continent.
03
Orchard culture
Fruit growing and drying skills passed down since the Silk Road. Apricot, pomegranate, grape and melon are daily life and culture here.
04
Making
ERMÁK has made natural foods in Uzbekistan since 1992 — pressing, drying and roasting by the season of each ingredient.
