Cresco; superior taste and quality
Specialists in cultivating cresses the traditional way since 1958
Cresco has been growing cress in the heart of the Netherlands’ Westland region, one of the world’s premier greenhouse horticulture areas, since 1958. Cresco founded cress cultivation in the Netherlands and the company has been nurturing a wide range of the healthy delicious treats for four generations. Micro Sensations in flavours, fragrances and colours. 'Cresco' means fast growing in Latin, which applies as equally to the dynamism and development of the company as it does to our products. These days Cresco is recognised as 'the leading producer of quality cresses'. Cresco cultivates, packs and transports all its own products. In consultation with you, our drivers will deliver one or one hundred boxes of our products entirely free of charge to your desired location. That’s what we call optimum service, ensuring you receive a flexible, made to measure facility. Contact us at any time to discuss our full range of possibilities. We look forward to hearing from you.
Exceptional cultivation method
Although we of course move with the times, the specialist cultivation method which the Prins family developed in the early years is essentially still the way the cress is grown today. Growing cresses is a specialism. The seeds are placed on a cultivation medium where under carefully calibrated conditions they germinate and sprout to become small plants. The moment these plants achieve an optimum height, they are harvested in a process which leaves the cresses attached to the cultivation medium. The cultivation process is monitored under a vigilant eye at all times, as each type of cress from our large selection grows at an individual pace and demands specific cultivation conditions. Cresco's work method is informed by our conviction that the best results are only achieved by being 'constantly on top of things'; literally casting 'the master's eye'.
Micro Sensations
Our selection of cresses is exceptional. Not only do we daily deliver products of the very highest quality, they simply also taste superb. Our ‘Micro Sensations’ guarantee a taste sensation on your clients' plates; sensational taste, fragrance and colour, making them an invaluable addition to your selection palette. A quality product such as Cresco cress demands exceptional quality presentation. As with the cresses, our packaging is also guaranteed to please your customers. From attractive transparent sheets and practical, convenient containers for our micro-leaves to colourful impressive external cartons offering a good view of the products, and of course all in our 'Micro Sensations' style branding.
Sustainable to the roots
We work with respect for man, nature and the environment; for us the most normal thing in the world. For example we never use pesticides, preferring to keep our cresses healthy by harnessing nature. When sowing, harvesting and packing we record our cresses in batches. This means that our products can always be traced to our company in the chain and of course we are always proud and happy to have our products linked to our company. The kind of confidence that inspires you, our client, as well as your customers, the end consumers. We are also Global-Gap certified and all our garden cresses carry the EKO quality symbol. For reasons of hygiene we avoid surface water, preferring to use tap water in the cultivation process to limit the possibility of external negative influences and to safeguard the highest quality.
