Pitted freeze dried cherry retaining its sweet profile and bright colour.
Pricing for private label, contract manufacturing and bulk supply is volume based.
Unlike sour cherry, sweet cherry has a low-acid, high-sugar profile, which makes it a sweet snack component suitable for direct consumption. The product is processed pitted.
Freeze-drying preserves cherry's heat-sensitive aroma compounds and bright colour. As the fruit's own sugar is concentrated, it delivers pronounced sweetness without added sugar — an advantage in developing no-added-sugar and clean-label products.
Whole form is used in direct snacking, granola and chocolate applications; powder in dairy, beverage and confectionery applications. Cherry gives a warmer red tone than vegetable-based colourants such as beetroot and black carrot.
Because of its porous structure the product tends to pick up moisture inside the pack; moisture-barrier packaging with inert gas flushing where required is recommended.
