What evra does

evra ingredients is an Italian specialty B2B ingredient supplier headquartered in Lauria (Potenza) with a second operational site in Guanzate (Como), operating under Portuguese-registered parent Sparkfood Ingredients, S.A. The company develops, manufactures, and markets a portfolio of proprietary, trademarked botanical extracts — notably ANNURTROFIL® (clinically tested Annurca apple extract for hair health), the FILIEVRA® collection (Pollino National Park-sourced botanicals including BALMEX® lemon balm), SOLANRED® (Basilicata red eggplant), and the broader Mediterranean Botanicals Collection — for dietary supplement, fortified food, wellness/beauty, and pet food/animal feed manufacturers worldwide.

Manufacturing is anchored in advanced extraction capabilities including proprietary CPF® extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction, dedicated water and ethanol solvent lines, spray drying, and drying granulation, supported by a comprehensive certification stack (FSSC22000, ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO45001, ISO22005, FDA CFR 21 GMP, Halal, Kosher, Vegan, EU Organic). Exclusive sourcing partnerships with farmers in the UNESCO-protected Pollino National Park and Basilicata (via ALSIA) provide privileged access to rare, traceable raw materials, while three Italian university collaborations and a partnership with The Blue Chemistry Lab underpin scientific validation.

The company runs a relationship-driven enterprise field sales motion with consultation-based custom pricing, generating revenue through one-time ingredient supply and exclusive licensing/supply arrangements. Distribution is exclusively B2B and global, with no direct-to-consumer or retail channel. Recent strategic activity includes the March 2026 Brightseed Forager™ AI partnership for accelerated bioactive discovery, expansion of the Mediterranean Botanicals portfolio, and continuous multi-standard certification upgrades. Headcount stands at 16 employees; revenue is not publicly disclosed.
