IQF Frozen Fruit & Zest

Blackberries

Serbia

Maison Ponthier has selected blackberries grown in Serbia, a country renowned for the exceptional quality of its berries thanks to its continental climate and rich soil. These blackberries, carefully cultivated and harvested at peak ripeness, are distinguished by their generous size, juicy flesh and intense flavour, combining sweetness and a hint of acidity.

Quickly frozen after picking using the IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) process, they perfectly retain their melt-in-the-mouth texture, beautiful shiny black colour and natural aromas. This authentic fruit appeals for its versatility and consistency in use.

With no added sugar or preservatives, Ponthier blackberries are ideal for jams, coulis, desserts, frozen desserts, pie fillings or savoury accompaniments. A natural, reliable and ready-to-use product, designed to meet the high standards of gastronomy professionals.
