We pour the same passion and rigor into the contract-manufactured products we produce as we do our own.
The Treasure8 Advantage
We have built a considerable suite of proprietary synergistic and advanced processing technologies and approaches in food stabilization, dehydration, and milling.
Our premium ingredients deliver exceptionally bright taste and color thanks to our USDA SAUNA™ patented technology, which stabilizes and dehydrates whole foods and post-production sidestreams faster, lowering harmful CO2e.
