ABOUT US
Mala Peruviana was established in 2014 by FOS natural creativity, its mother company, which is based at the heart of Central Greece, in Vagia, Boeotia. It started its operation with an original production line based on the traditional method of tomato juice production. The idea was to create products based on the quality criteria of the Mediterranean Diet, that is products that taste, smell and have the color of the original fruits as these come from Mother Earth. By maintaining the high quality standards we created the Dreats (drink & eat) category, which offers versatility to meet the needs of modern world. Thanks to their quality characteristics, our products can be used either as beverages or as ingredients to cook your favorite recipes quickly and deliciously.
Our main difference lies in our collaboration with our own producers and agronomists who initially check our products on the field.
Fruits are very carefully collected on the field and only healthy plants stems are collected. There are two other screening processes performed at the packaging plant aiming at minimizing the chances of a bad fruit being included in the final product. Thus we ensure the top quality of our final product. Obviously, this procedure is more expensive and time-consuming. This is a constraint to mass production but, on the other hand ensures a high-quality end-product.
Initially, our target was the Greek market but quickly the dynamics of our products travelled them to Dubai, the UK, Cyprus, the US and Italy. Our official distributor for the Greek market is AMVYX S.A.
Products
Production takes place in summer only, mainly in August-September, and we use only vine-ripened tomatoes grown in the open air with Greek water under the precious sun of Greece. The areas selected are mainly situated in semi-mountainous-lowland areas because of their climate. Due to the seasonality of the tomato fruit, we have to know in advance the annual quantity that will be channeled to the market or which will be exported through pour partners. This is an issue addressed by the shelf life of our products which is not less than two years.
Our products do not contain preservatives or colorant additives. They are pasteurized at specific temperatures and times to maintain their quality physicochemical properties. Sometimes, a small quantity of lemon or citric acid may be used for ph regulation, when considered necessary.
Mala Peruviana products are used to cook light and healthy meals, to prepare cocktails and as energy drinks for athletes. It is certainly a juice of high nutritional value and health due to its lycopene and antioxidants. More details on its uses available at our site.

From seed to the bottle
Human Being
The human being is just a passer-by in a continuous development. In a development that he struggles to take part in. He is trying to understand the unknown by making marks on the canvas of the unknown. Some of the marks are used to compose the asymmetric development. Others might indicate the imperfection of the human knowledge and the ego of one gene that tries to maintain a parallel course with the universe. Either way everything around us is compositions of abstract perfection made in “hypothetical periods”.
I will be the one to breathe life into the sculpture of a human body that adjusts, beautifies, shines, is destroyed, lives to understand death and eventually becomes one with the course of the development. A breath that smell like soil. A heart that grew up with fire, stone, light and water.
These are the ingredients that compose the sculpture’s heart. I found her alive without moving, ready to captivate my spirit, letting me smell her summer life. Painted in the most terrifying, glamorous, love color of my mind. Red. I’ ll name her TOMATO.
Παραδοση/Εργατες
Η εταιρεία μας ονομάζεται FOS Natural Creativity και το όνομα αυτής είναι συνδεδεμένο με το πολύτιμο φως του ηλίου της Ελλάδας λόγο γεωγραφικής θέσης καθώς και με το φως του ελληνικού πνεύματος ερχόμενο από τα αρχαία ελληνικά χρόνια. Το όνομα Mala Peruviana χρησιμοποιήθηκε για να γεφυρώσουμε (και να ενημερώσουμε) την ιστορική ερμηνεία του καρπού της τομάτας με την Ελληνικότητα των προϊόντων που παράγουμε. Προς τιμήν λοιπόν της ονομασίας του καρπού της τομάτας σύμφωνα με την ιστορία, χρησιμοποιήσαμε το όνομα Mala Peruviana που σημαίνει "κακιά περουβιανή". Σύμφωνα με τα ιστορικά στοιχειά όταν το φυτό της τομάτας έφτασε στην Ευρώπη ονομάστηκε Mala Peruviana διότι οι άνθρωποι παρατηρούσαν τα ζώα να δηλητηριάζονται τρώγοντας το φυτό και αυτό γιατί τα φύλλα περιέχουν μια ουσία που ονομάζεται σολανίνη. Όταν δοκίμασαν όμως τον καρπό ανακάλυψαν το πολύτιμο αυτό φρούτο γευστικά και διαθρεπτικά, ενώ γρήγορα πήρε μια σημαντική θέση στις διατροφικές του συνήθειες. Η χρωματική σύνθεση της φιάλης είναι βασισμένη στην θεωρία του Αριστοτέλη περί των χρωμάτων. Κατά την όποια το βασικό χρώμα στο σύμπαν είναι το μαύρο και ερχόμενο το "φως" του ηλίου έχουμε το κόκκινο. Έτσι λοιπόν μαύρο το βασικό χρώμα της φιάλης, FOS η εταιρεία μας ,έχουμε το κόκκινο του χυμού της τομάτας. Το σπερματοζωάριο που υπάρχει στο λογότυπο μας παραπέμπει στην δημιουργία ζωής.
