In today’s competitive food processing market, the foundation of outstanding product quality lies in sourcing high-grade raw materials. Premium frozen blackcurrants, harvested from select top-tier regions, have rapidly become a preferred choice among food manufacturers worldwide. Their superior quality, combined with advanced preservation technology, elevates food products with natural flavor, vibrant color, and enhanced nutrition.
These frozen blackcurrants originate exclusively from renowned cultivation areas known for their pristine soil and ideal climate conditions. The raw berries undergo a rigorous three-stage manual selection process, ensuring that only the finest whole fruits— boasting an impressive 95% whole berry rate—proceed to freezing. This meticulous sorting guarantees minimal damage, optimal integrity, and consistency essential for high-end food processing applications.
Employing state-of-the-art quick-freezing technology, the blackcurrants are flash frozen shortly after harvest. This process locks in freshness by instantly halting enzymatic activity and preserving the delicate structure of the berries, safeguarding their natural flavor, vivid color, and nutritional value far better than conventional freezing methods.
