Zamrznuto voće – Frozen fruits – Hladnjača Pantelić
The creamiest indulgence in our collection, select Cavendish bananas ripened to perfection, sliced and flash-frozen, then enrobed in precision-tempered Belgian chocolate. A naturally sweet, ice-cream-like center meets a crisp chocolate shell.
Unlike our berry varieties sourced from Serbian orchards, our chocolate-covered frozen bananas begin their journey in the fertile plantations of Ecuador and Costa Rica, regions renowned for producing the world's finest Cavendish bananas. Sourced through certified organic and fair-trade partnerships, these bananas represent the gold standard in tropical fruit cultivation.
Each banana is harvested at three-quarters ripeness, the perfect stage when starches have converted to natural sugars but the fruit retains its structural integrity. Upon arrival at our facility in Šabac, Serbia, they undergo a precisely controlled ripening process before being hand-peeled and sliced into perfect bite-sized coins.
The magic happens in the freezing. While berries offer a tart, juicy burst, banana develops something entirely unique: an ice-cream-like creaminess when flash-frozen at –30°C. This naturally sweet, velvety center becomes the perfect canvas for our precision-tempered Belgian chocolate, available in both milk and white varieties.
The result is a clean-label indulgence built on just two ingredients: real banana and real Belgian chocolate. No added sugars. No artificial flavors. No preservatives. Simply the creamiest, most dessert-like experience in our entire collection, backed by IFS Food, Kosher, Halal, and EU Organic certifications.
From macro textures to styled dessert compositions, explore every golden detail of our chocolate-covered frozen banana.
From the tropical plantations of Ecuador and Costa Rica to our facility in Serbia, a journey of careful selection, controlled ripening, and flash-freezing that preserves nature's perfect energy snack.
Unlike our berry varieties grown in Serbian orchards, our bananas begin their journey in the fertile tropical lowlands of Ecuador and Costa Rica, regions that produce over 30% of the world's banana exports. We partner exclusively with certified organic plantations that meet EU Organic, Fair Trade, and GlobalG.A.P. standards.
Upon arrival at our Šabac facility, green bananas undergo a precisely controlled ethylene ripening process over 4–6 days. This allows us to achieve the exact sugar-to-starch ratio (approximately 20:80) that creates the signature creamy texture when frozen, unlike berries that remain icy, banana transforms into something resembling premium gelato.
Each banana is then hand-peeled and sliced into uniform coins (approximately 12–15mm thickness) to ensure even chocolate coating and consistent bite size. The process demands gentle handling, Cavendish bananas are delicate, and surface damage would compromise both appearance and freezing quality.
We exclusively use the Cavendish cultivar (Musa acuminata 'Dwarf Cavendish'), the global gold standard for dessert bananas. Selected for its sweet, mellow flavor profile and firm, creamy texture that holds up perfectly to IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) processing.
Cavendish offers several advantages for chocolate coating: lower moisture content than other varieties (reducing ice crystal formation), natural sweetness that requires no added sugars, and a pale golden color that creates beautiful contrast against dark or milk chocolate shells.
Our bananas are sourced from two premium growing regions, both certified for EU organic export and meeting the strict phytosanitary requirements for processed fruit entry into Serbia.
Bananas are nature's original energy bar, packed with potassium, vitamins, and natural carbohydrates that fuel performance.
Every banana coin is enrobed in premium Belgian chocolate, precision-tempered to create a crisp, luxurious shell that complements the creamy sweetness of frozen Cavendish.
The chocolate used in our products is sourced from established Belgian producers, crafted from premium cocoa beans and refined using traditional European techniques that have defined the global standard for over a century.
Available in both milk and white varieties, the chocolate undergoes a precise tempering process, carefully heating, cooling, and reheating to exact temperature thresholds, that produces a stable crystalline structure. This is what gives the shell its satisfying snap, its smooth mouthfeel, and its ability to withstand frozen storage without cracking, blooming, or losing texture.
The enrobing takes place under strictly controlled conditions of temperature and humidity, ensuring uniform coverage on every banana slice. The result is a thin, even shell that adheres perfectly to the frozen fruit, no excess, no gaps, preserving the banana's natural moisture while adding a layer of rich, velvety sweetness.
A four-stage precision process that transforms tropical Cavendish bananas into a premium frozen delicacy, every step controlled, every detail certified.
Green bananas undergo controlled ethylene ripening (4–6 days) to reach optimal ¾ color stage. Each fruit is then hand-peeled to preserve surface integrity for perfect coating adhesion.
Peeled bananas are sliced into uniform 12–15mm coins and immediately flash-frozen at –30°C. IQF technology locks in the creamy texture and prevents ice crystal formation.
Frozen banana coins pass through a precision enrobing line of tempered Belgian chocolate, milk or white, under controlled temperature and humidity. Even, uniform coverage on every piece.
