When it comes to delivering consistent quality in frozen fruit applications—from bakery lines to premium smoothie blends—few ingredients match the performance of high-grade frozen blackcurrants. Thanks to advanced quick-freezing technology, these berries retain up to 95% whole-fruit integrity, making them a preferred choice among food processors, chefs, and health-conscious brands worldwide.
Our blackcurrants are hand-selected from certified organic farms in Northern Europe, where climate conditions naturally enhance anthocyanin concentration—the key pigment responsible for both vibrant color and antioxidant power. Before freezing, each batch undergoes rigorous sorting using AI-assisted optical scanners that identify size consistency, ripeness, and defect-free surfaces. This ensures only top-tier berries enter our blast-freezing tunnels.
Quality Metric | Standard | Industry Average |
---|---|---|
Whole Fruit Rate | ≥95% | 75–85% |
Vitamin C Retention (after 6 months) | >85% | ~60% |
Color Stability (during thawing) | Excellent | Moderate to Poor |
The secret lies in our patented IQF (Individual Quick Freeze) process, which locks in flavor, texture, and nutrients within minutes—not hours. Unlike traditional slow-freeze methods that form large ice crystals and damage cell walls, our system uses ultra-low temperatures (-40°C) to crystallize water inside the berry uniformly. The result? A firm yet tender bite when thawed, with minimal juice loss or discoloration—a critical factor for foodservice clients who demand reliability across batches.
“We use your frozen blackcurrants in our artisanal jams. The consistency and deep purple hue make our products stand out on shelves—and customers love the natural tartness.”
— Maria Lopez, Product Developer, La Petite Fraise (France)
