For more than 35 years, Silva International, Inc. has been
providing dehydrated vegetable, herb, and select fruit ingredients
to the food industry. Through the years, we've maintained sole
ownership of our company and built a team with a wealth of
knowledge—five of our key positions have over 100 years of combined
experience in the industry. This command of the industry translates
into consistency and continuity throughout the company. Headquartered outside Chicago in Momence, Illinois, Silva
International combines the bulk of our organization-processing,
quality control, administrative, warehousing, shipping, sales
force—in one location. Over our long and successful history, we've
stayed focused on what we do best: producing ingredients using the
highest possible standards. With more than three decades of
experience, we take pride in our reputation as a leader in the
marketplace. The History of Silva 1970 Silva USA was established as a marketing arm for the Silva European
Group of companies. We have the flexibility to find the best crop sources in the world.
This enables us to provide the best in both cost and quality. We
even source some ingredients from opposite hemispheres to take
advantage of alternate crop cycles and to access the freshest
ingredients year-round. Our strategic partnerships for our raw
material give us the ability to combat crop failures and take full
advantage of lower costs, while always maintaining the best quality
available. We choose the freshest produce from leading planting
locations, guaranteeing robust, hearty stocks that result in the
most flavorful dehydrated ingredients.
