Sourcing high-quality frozen blackcurrants that meet strict international food standards is no longer a challenge—thanks to advanced freezing technology and rigorous quality control. Our premium-grade frozen blackcurrants are harvested from carefully selected northern hemisphere farms (e.g., Poland, Latvia, and Sweden), where climate conditions naturally enhance anthocyanin content and fruit firmness. Each batch undergoes manual sorting to remove damaged or undersized berries—ensuring only the best make it into production.
Unlike traditional slow-freezing methods, our single-fruit quick-freezing process locks in freshness within seconds. This technique preserves up to 92% of original anthocyanins (based on lab tests by SGS) and maintains the deep purple hue critical for natural coloring applications. In real-world trials, processors report that thawed berries retain over 85% of their texture compared to conventional frozen alternatives—making them ideal for jams, juices, and bakery fillings without excessive mushiness.
| Freezing Method | Texture Retention After Thawing | Color Stability |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Slow Freeze | ~60% | Moderate degradation |
| Our -35°C Quick Freeze | ≥85% | Highly stable |
All products comply with HACCP, EU Regulation (EC) No 852/2004, and GCC food safety standards—key requirements for importers targeting Europe and the Middle East. Every shipment includes third-party lab reports (from Eurofins and Intertek) confirming microbial safety, pesticide residue levels below 0.01 ppm, and consistent Brix values between 14–17°Bx—a benchmark for flavor intensity in processed foods.
In collaboration with a leading Turkish fruit concentrate manufacturer, we demonstrated how our frozen blackcurrants reduced artificial coloring costs by up to 22% while improving product shelf life through enhanced pigment stability. Similarly, a French pastry company reported a 15% reduction in waste during dough preparation due to better structural integrity post-thawing—an advantage often overlooked in bulk frozen fruits.
“We’ve seen firsthand how this ingredient boosts both efficiency and quality. It’s not just about cost savings—it’s about consistency across batches.”
