Customization:
With Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) technology, you can preserve the texture and freshness of each red currant, ensuring they remain separated and easy to use in recipes. Unlike traditional freezing methods, IQF prevents clumping, offering convenience for portion control.
With bulk packaging, you can adapt to both home and commercial needs—ideal for smoothies, desserts, or large-scale culinary applications. This flexibility outperforms pre-portioned alternatives for scalability.
With NOP certification, you can trust the product meets rigorous organic standards, ensuring purity and safety for consumption. This certification sets it apart from non-certified frozen fruit options.
With open-air cultivation, you can enjoy a natural flavor profile and nutrient retention, as outdoor growth mimics traditional farming practices that enhance taste and quality.
With a blueberry-infused flavor profile (unique to this blend), you can experience a distinctive taste that combines the tartness of red currants with the sweetness of blueberries, offering a premium sensory experience.
IQF Frozen Red Currant combines premium quality and convenience for culinary and retail applications. Crafted through open-air cultivation and NOP certification, these currants retain their natural flavor and nutritional value.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Emily Carter - Home Baker, Portland, OR
"I bought the Pro Model in January 2025 for my weekly baking and smoothie prep. After 7 months, I’m still impressed by how the berries stay firm and don’t clump—even after repeated freezer access. The NOP certification gave me peace of mind as I transitioned to a fully organic kitchen. These red currants add a vibrant tartness to my muffins and yogurt bowls. The 18-month shelf life is a game-changer—I don’t have to worry about waste."Purchase Date: January 2025 | Usage Period: 7 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Diego Martinez - Owner, Bloom & Brew Café
"We’ve been using the Advanced Model since November 2024—now in our third delivery cycle. The IQF process is a huge win for our baristas; they can grab a handful for smoothie bowls or cocktail garnishes without thawing. Customers love the pop of color on our açai bowls, especially when served on heart-shaped ceramic plates. The Non-GMO + NOP combo aligns perfectly with our clean-label menu. We’ve even started co-branded packaging for take-home dessert kits!"Purchase Date: November 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Chef Anika Patel - Executive Pastry Chef, Lumière Restaurant
"As someone who values consistency in plating, I appreciate the 98% berry integrity in the Pro Model. We use them for tart fillings and frozen coulis, and the low moisture content (8%) prevents sogginess in delicate pastries. The only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is that the initial cost is steep—but when you factor in yield and waste reduction, it pays off. Perfect for upscale dessert presentations."Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jordan Lee - Nutrition Blogger & Smoothie Creator
"Purchased the Base Model in May 2024 for daily smoothie content. I was skeptical about frozen berries retaining nutrients, but the IQF process actually locks in anthocyanins better than fresh ones stored for more than a day. My followers love the tart-sweet balance in my ‘Superberry Boost’ recipe. Plus, being vegan and gluten-free, these fit seamlessly into my dietary content. I’ve already featured them in 12 recipes!"Purchase Date: May 2024 | Usage Period: 6 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Maria Gonzalez - Director of Events, Gourmet Gatherings Inc.
"We serve over 200 plated desserts monthly, and presentation is everything. Since switching to these IQF red currants in September 2024, our plating time has dropped by 30%. The berries stay firm, don’t bleed color, and look stunning on chocolate desserts—especially when arranged on those heart-shaped ceramic dishes shown in the catalog. Bulk packaging at 25kg saves us 18% per unit versus retail frozen berries. The Pro Model’s Kosher certification also helps us book more corporate and religious events."Purchase Date: September 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

"Used 10kg for a wedding dessert bar. Held up perfectly in display trays over 4 hours. Only suggestion: offer smaller bulk options (like 10kg) for mid-sized caterers."
