For almost 20 years, Sweet home selects only the highest quality fruit for its frozen products. Fruit is deep frozen in 3 static tunnels with capacity of 40t/24h. After deep freezing, fruit is stabilized in 1,100t capacity cold chambers, from where it goes into further inspection and processing. We are very devoted to high quality and safety of the fruit we produce, therefore all the products intended for immediate human consumption are produced only in our own cold store which is IFS certified. By virtue of good cooperation with other cold stores in our neighbourhood we have the possibility to externally produce some lower quality products intended for further industrial use.
BLACKBERRY
Blackberry
Since it’s cultivation and harvesting methods are very similar to raspberry, blackberry is next to raspberry the most grown berry in our region. Because of its biological characteristics and weak resistance to cold weather, blackberry is grown at lower altitudes, but we can also find it at 800m or 900m above the sea level. Blackberry reaches full ripeness at the end of July, beginning of August. As with raspberry, the harvest in our region lasts 45-60 days depending on the weather conditions. The most common variety in our region is “Thornfree” blackberry which is smaller than “Cacanska bestrna”, grown mostly in Western Serbia. In addition to being smaller, during freezing it preserves the black color, while “Cacanska bestrna” once in contract with minus air temperature, changes its color to ruby. We are deep freezing only “Thornfree” blackberry while “Cacanska bestrna” is used for lower quality products.
