Description
Origin and selection
Frozen fruit is one of the most in-demand categories in the agri-food sector due to its versatility, ease of use and nutritional value. Palimex imports frozen fruit from Poland, one of Europe’s leading countries for the cultivation and processing of berries and stone fruit. Through collaboration with certified suppliers equipped with advanced facilities located close to the harvesting areas, we offer a high-quality product processed just hours after picking and compliant with European hygiene and health standards.
Ideal climate and raw material quality
Poland’s temperate climate and fertile soils are ideal for growing strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, currants, blackberries, cherries and plums. The thermal variation between day and night enhances natural sugar development, aroma intensity and bright colour. The fruit is harvested manually or semi-automatically during the summer months and immediately transported to processing plants where it is selected, washed, calibrated and frozen using IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) technology.
IQF freezing process
The IQF process is one of the key strengths of our product. With this technology, each individual fruit is frozen at very low temperature in a short time, preventing the formation of ice crystals that would damage its texture and quality. This ensures that flavour, colour, shape and nutritional value remain intact, making frozen fruit an ideal premium ingredient for various food and confectionery applications.
Available formats
Palimex offers a wide range of varieties and formats to suit every professional need: whole IQF fruit, cut fruit (cubes, wedges, halves), frozen purée, berry mixes, and calibrated fruit for further processing. Products are packed in industrial sacks, 10 or 25 kg cartons, or catering-size pouches. Each format is designed for maximum yield, practicality and ease of portioning.
Professional applications
Palimex frozen fruit is ideal for the food industry, pastry shops, ice cream makers, bakeries, frozen product manufacturers, bars, hotels and catering services. It can be used for desserts, mousses, sorbets, ice cream, fruit yoghurts, sauces, fillings, smoothie blends, cocktails and dessert toppings. Thanks to IQF technology, exact quantities can be used with minimal waste.
Seasonality and availability
Immediate freezing after harvest allows us to guarantee year-round availability regardless of fresh fruit seasonality. This enables our clients to plan their production with continuity and reliability, maintaining high quality standards even during winter. Supplies can be scheduled or requested on demand, with traceable batches and full documentation.
Nutritional value and benefits
Frozen fruit retains almost all the nutrients of fresh fruit. It is naturally rich in fibre, antioxidants, vitamins (especially C, A and B group), minerals like potassium and magnesium, and natural sugars. In particular, fruits like blueberries, currants and raspberries contain high levels of anthocyanins, polyphenols and flavonoids – bioactive compounds known for their benefits to cardiovascular health, the immune system and cell function. It is low in calories, gluten-free, allergen-free, and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Benefits for industry and retail
Frozen fruit offers maximum convenience: no washing, peeling or cutting is needed; it’s ready to use and easy to portion. With a shelf life of up to 24 months at -18 °C, it guarantees stability and waste reduction. It is the ideal solution to optimise kitchen management costs, avoid seasonal price fluctuations and ensure consistent quality in the final product.
Logistics, traceability and safety
Each batch undergoes microbiological checks and quality testing and comes with technical data sheets, allergen declarations and HACCP certification. Our refrigerated logistics system ensures reliable and timely delivery with temperature-controlled transport and certified storage. All our products comply with European food safety and traceability regulations, ensuring full transparency and assurance for the end customer.
