Description
IQF frozen wild lingonberries (Vaccinium vitis-idaea), hand-harvested in the clean forests of the Ukrainian Carpathians. Naturally firm and glossy, lingonberries carry a distinctive tart, slightly bitter profile and a high content of natural benzoic acid, which supports an exceptionally long shelf life with minimal processing. Individually quick-frozen at peak ripeness, the berries stay loose and free-flowing, keeping their bright red colour, firm texture and nutrients intact. They are sorted, cleaned and free of stems, leaves and foreign matter — ready for direct use in production. Typical applications: sauces and condiments for the meat and game trade, jams, preserves and compotes, bakery fillings, juices and concentrates, and functional or nutraceutical products where high antioxidant content matters. Sourcing is fully traceable from forest to finished pallet, and processing follows HACCP standards; organic-certified lots are available on request. Packaging: 25 kg multi-layer paper bags or 400 kg industrial octabins. Storage at –18 °C. Minimum order 500 kg. Delivery across the EU on FCA, DAP or DDP terms, with full export documentation.

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.
