Hydration

Unlike in the traditional system, the process employed at Parramon Exportap uses continuous showering to boil our cork bundles, greatly reducing all the tannins and volatile components (organochlorides) that can lead to sensorial problems.

In comparison with autoclave boiling, our system also includes other important improvements such as the fact that it does not use vapour or pressure, meaning the process is much less aggressive to the cellular structure of cork.
