IQF Frozen Fruit & Zest

Mecker Raspberries

Serbia

For its frozen raspberries, Maison Ponthier has selected the Mecker variety, grown in Serbia, a region renowned for its fertile soil and continental climate ideal for growing small red fruits. The Mecker raspberry, highly prized by professionals, offers a remarkable balance between sweetness and acidity, melt-in-the-mouth flesh and a beautiful aromatic intensity.

Harvested at full ripeness, the raspberries are individually quick frozen (IQF) to preserve their shape, delicate texture, fresh fragrance and natural ruby red colour. Thanks to their firm structure and distinct flavour, they are suitable for a wide range of uses: desserts, jams, ice cream, coulis, garnishes and drinks.
