Peak Ripeness
Each fruit is carefully handpicked at its peak ripeness to capture the fullest natural flavor and highest nutritional content. Harvesting is conducted by experienced farmers who understand the delicate balance required to select fruit that will withstand the freeze-drying process while retaining its integrity. The fruit is sourced from fertile, nutrient-rich soils in Türkiye, where optimal growing conditions and sustainable agricultural practices contribute to the superior quality of the produce.
Transfer
To preserve freshness and prevent any degradation, the harvested fruit is swiftly transported to a state-of-the-art military-grade freeze-drying facility. This rapid transfer is critical to maintaining the fruit’s original characteristics, minimizing exposure to heat or moisture that could compromise quality. The facility is equipped with advanced environmental controls and strict safety protocols to ensure the fruit arrives in pristine condition and is ready for processing.
Freeze-Drying
Within the facility, fruit undergoes a meticulous freeze-drying cycle lasting approximately 30 hours. This process removes moisture by sublimation under ultra-low temperatures and vacuum conditions, preserving the fruit’s cellular structure and essential nutrients. Unlike traditional drying methods, freeze-drying prevents shrinkage and preserves the natural color, flavor, and aroma of the fruit without the need for additives or preservatives. This technology ensures a clean, shelf-stable product that retains the essence of fresh fruit.
Quality
Upon completion of freeze-drying, each batch undergoes thorough quality control inspections, including checks for moisture content, texture, and flavor consistency. Only products meeting strict standards move forward to packaging. The fruit is then carefully packed in airtight, protective materials designed to maintain freshness and prevent contamination throughout storage and transportation. This meticulous approach guarantees that the final product delivered to customers preserves its premium quality and natural purity.
