FAQs
This premium Carpathian ingredient is available in industrial-grade fresh forms during peak harvest, or as premium Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) selections year-round. Depending on your manufacturing specifications, we can offer the product color-sorted, calibrated by millimeter size, or semi-processed to integrate seamlessly into automated food production lines, dairy manufacturing, or industrial baking applications.
Yes. While fresh, non-frozen batches are strictly tied to our seasonal harvesting calendar, our IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) fruit products are processed at peak nutritional maturity and stored in deep-freeze facilities. This advanced preservation enables us to guarantee a continuous, uninterrupted wholesale supply to our B2B partners 365 days a year, regardless of the crop's calendar season.
To preserve cell structure, flavor profile, and total food safety, strict cold-chain protocols must be followed. Fresh orders require immediate humidity-controlled refrigeration and rapid processing. Our IQF deep-frozen products must be maintained continuously at a stable temperature of -18°C or lower to prevent enzymatic degradation and clustering, ensuring full compliance with international HACCP safety guidelines.
The commercial shelf life depends entirely on the product form. Freshly harvested batches are highly perishable and require immediate food processing or distribution within a few days under refrigeration. Our IQF frozen items possess a robust shelf life of 12 to 24 months when held continuously at -18°C, retaining their natural color, structure, and microbiological stability.
