Blackberries IQF

Description

Blackberries IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) are a premium fruit option for New Zealand households, bakeries, restaurants, and caterers seeking fresh-tasting berries all year round. Harvested at peak ripeness and snap frozen within hours, these blackberries lock in their natural flavour, nutrients, and vibrant colour.

Unlike fresh blackberries that are often delicate, seasonal, and prone to quick spoilage, IQF blackberries maintain their integrity, texture, and taste even after freezing. Each berry is frozen separately, ensuring you get loose, whole fruit that’s easy to portion and use directly from the freezer.

Perfect for smoothies, desserts, jams, baking, sauces, and even savoury dishes, Blackberries IQF offer unmatched convenience and quality. For New Zealand’s foodservice industry, they are a cost-effective and reliable solution that eliminates waste while ensuring consistent supply throughout the year.

Whether you’re a café in Auckland crafting blackberry cheesecakes, a restaurant in Queenstown adding a tangy berry jus to lamb, or a family in Wellington blending up breakfast smoothies, Blackberries IQF bring the best of nature to your kitchen — anytime.
