FIRST + FAIR
August 19, 2008

We at CI Andes Export Company SA intensively work together with our farmers in order to secure safe and healthy fruits to our customers and the end-consumers.
Furthermore we support our farmers with a SUSTAINABLE PURCHASING POLICY in order to assure them financial stability, for their families and their workers on the fields.

This NEW PROGRAM has been developped during the first semester of 2008 and is called :

FIRST + FAIR

Gradually all our packagings will be labelled with this logo in order to show our real interest and dedication in the social welfare of the ones who work together with us, being directly or indirectly.

Lime fruit, and particularly their juice, are used in beverages, such as limeade (akin to lemonade). Alcoholic drinks prepared with limes include cocktails such as the gin and tonic, margarita, mojito, and Cuba libre, as well as many drinks that may be garnished with a thin slice of the fruit or corkscrew strip of the peel (twist). One customary consumption of tequila is in shots accompanied by lime wedges and salt. Beer is often served with limes in Mexico, as well as some other countries. Lime juice is also used in commercial soft drinks.

In cooking, lime is valued both for the acidity of its juice and the floral aroma of its zest. Perhaps most famously, it is used in Key lime pie. It is also used for its pickling properties in ceviche. Additionally, the leaves of the Kaffir lime are used in Southeast Asian cuisine. The use of dried limes as a flavouring is typical of Persian cuisine.
