🔧 Production Process: Precision at Every Step
Our IQF cranberry production follows a strictly controlled workflow to ensure color, flavor, and texture are preserved:

2️⃣ Washing & Blanching – Berries undergo multiple washes for surface cleanliness, followed by light blanching depending on customer requirements.
3️⃣ Individually Quick Freezing (IQF) – Using fluidized-bed freezers, each berry is frozen separately at –40°C, ensuring excellent free-flowing quality.
4️⃣ Sieving & Grading – Berries are classified into A Grade, B Grade, and AB Grade, plus semi-finished options for processors.
