Zamrznuto voće – Frozen fruits – Hladnjača Pantelić
Zamrznuto voće – Frozen fruits – Hladnjača Pantelić
FROZEN
The berry and soft fruit mix from Pantelić is carefully composed of selected, certified fruit varieties sourced from controlled orchards of local growers. The composition of the mix is tailored to customer requirements, most commonly including raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, blueberry, and red currant, in optimal proportions to achieve a balanced flavor, color, and nutritional value.
The fruit is harvested at optimal ripeness and immediately transported to the cold store, where it undergoes strict incoming quality control. After washing and hand sorting, the fruit is combined according to a pre-defined recipe and frozen using IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) technology. This process ensures that each fruit remains separate, without clumping, guaranteeing easy handling in further processing.
All ingredients of the berry and soft fruit mix come from carefully selected orchards of local growers in central and western Serbia, regions known for their ideal agro-climatic conditions for cultivating raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, blueberries, and red currants. Our cooperation with growers is based on long-term agreements with reliable agricultural holdings whose primary production is certified according to Global G.A.P. and Mark Spencer Select Farms standards.
Pantelić Cold Store holds international certifications such as IFS Food (High Level), SMETA 4-Pillar, Kosher, Halal, as well as certifications for organic product processing in compliance with EU Organic, NOP, and Naturland standards. These certifications confirm that all processes—from harvesting, through processing and packaging, to delivery—are carried out in accordance with the highest requirements for food safety, traceability, and quality preservation.
