Frozen Fruit and Purees for Ice Cream Manufacturers

Fruit that performs in the freezer

Fruit in ice cream has two jobs. Puree carries the flavor and color in the base. Pieces give the bite customers look for. Both have to survive the freezer without turning icy or bleeding color. Our IQF dices are frozen individually, so they stay separate in the feeder, and our purees come with Brix ranges so your batches stay consistent.

Where our fruit comes from

We source each fruit where it grows best and buy from more than one origin, so a short crop in one country doesn't hold up your orders. Our own teams in Mexico, Peru and Vietnam work directly with the growers.

Mexico: Strawberries, mango and blackberries | Chile: Peaches, cherries and berries | Vietnam: Mango, coconut and dragon fruit

Gelato, sorbet and paletas

Sorbet and gelato makers need high fruit content and clean flavor, which is where purees shine. Paleta makers use mango, strawberry, pineapple and watermelon pieces suspended in the pop. We supply both small craft makers and larger plants.
