Nuestra elección del nombre “Solum” para nuestra marca de alimentos naturales y sostenibles se basa en su significado científico. En latín, “solum” significa suelo, representando la capa fértil donde comienza y se sostiene la vida. Este término encarna nuestro compromiso con el crecimiento orgánico de los alimentos, enfatizando la importancia de un suelo saludable y rico en nutrientes para cultivar productos sostenibles y saludables.

The coffee cherry is a nutritional gem thanks to its abundance of antioxidants and polyphenols. These compounds act as powerful cellular protectors, helping to combat oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. The present polyphenols, such as phenolic acids and flavonoids, not only contribute to cardiovascular health but also possess anti-inflammatory properties. Incorporating coffee cherry into the diet can significantly contribute to the intake of these beneficial compounds, promoting overall optimal health.

Our unique value proposition sets us apart on various fronts from competitors. Primarily, as a Colombian company founded by individuals who have been working in the specialty coffee sector for over 10 years, we have a very direct and close working relationship with our suppliers. Technical assistance, advance payments, provision of machinery, services, and, above all, knowledge sharing enable us to manage a highly streamlined and direct supply chain that benefits all collaborators. On the product quality side, we consider ourselves experts, almost scholars of the coffee cherry. With over a decade of experience, we have an in-depth understanding of the product and know exactly how to process it to offer the most authentic and natural flavor possible. 

Our coffee cherry-based beverages occupy an innovative category, merging the characteristics of coffee, tea, sodas, and energy drinks. This emerging segment holds immense potential as it caters to the growing demand for healthy and sustainable alternatives in the beverage industry. With consumers becoming increasingly health-conscious and environmentally aware, coffee cherry-based beverages offer a unique experience, filled with natural flavors and nutritional benefits. Furthermore, their versatility in preparation, whether hot or cold, enhances their appeal, catering to various preferences.

We use the finest available raw material: high-quality coffee cherries from specialty coffees in Colombia, a country renowned for producing the world's best Arabica coffee. We consistently seek the best raw materials in the Colombian coffee market and collaborate closely with our producers to enhance product quality while promoting sustainable cultivation and soil reintegration to prevent erosion.

Los productos llamados del “upcycling” creativo se elaboran a partir de materias primas que previamente no tenían función alimentaria (en nuestro caso). La cáscara de café, que antes generaba problemas en las fincas cafeteras y, si mucho, se compostaba, ahora proporciona ingresos adicionales del 10-20% a los caficultores, reduciendo así la huella de carbono negativa al ser procesada de manera adecuada en las fincas con las que colaboramos.
