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.
RASPBERRY
Raspberry
Raspberry is the most important article in our portfolio, but also for our farmers. Raspberry from Kopaonik has extraordinary quality as it is cultivated at the altitudes between 300 m to 1,100 m above the sea level, in the hills, in perfectly clean environment far from the exhaust gases or other pollutants. Due to the big difference in altitudes where raspberry plantations are located, raspberry harvest in our region lasts 45-60 days, from the beginning of June until the beginning of August. Extraordinary quality of raspberry from our region comes from the specific harvest conditions. Raspberry ripens during July when the days are the longest and the sun is the strongest, therefore the sugar content in raspberries is higher than in the rest of country. The sweetest raspberries from our region reach 14bx, while average brix level for raspberry is around 9bx. Raspberry is collected daily at our collection points in every village, from where it is transported into the cold store for freezing as soon as it arrives.
