Our choice of the name 'Solum' for our brand of natural and sustainable foods is based on its scientific meaning. In Latin, 'solum' translates to soil, representing the fertile layer where life begins and is sustained. This term embodies our commitment to the organic growth of food, emphasizing the importance of healthy, nutrient-rich soil in cultivating sustainable and healthy products.

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. This potential is reflected in the growing consumer interest and willingness to explore options that embody innovation and commitment to a conscious and balanced lifestyle.

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.

Products labeled as 'upcycling' are crafted from raw materials that previously had no food-related function (in our case). Coffee cherry, which previously caused challenges on coffee farms and, at best, was composted, now provides additional income of 10-20% to coffee growers. This not only reduces the negative carbon footprint but also addresses environmental issues by being processed appropriately on the farms with which we collaborate.
