Strawberries are valued for their bright red colour, natural sweetness and strong berry aroma. DWBL Foods produces IQF Strawberries using fresh, fully ripe berries sourced from leading cultivation regions such as Mahabaleshwar, Himachal Pradesh, Kashmir and selected cool-climate farms. These growing regions support excellent colour development, strong aroma and ideal firmness—perfect for IQF frozen applications.
With our IQF and Blast Freezer facilities, we supply strawberries in whole and sliced formats while preserving their natural flavour and appearance.
Product Overview
DWBL Foods processes strawberries by washing, sorting and trimming them before slicing or freezing whole. The berries then undergo IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) processing, which ensures each piece freezes separately and remains free-flowing. For bulk or block-frozen requirements, our blast freezer offers additional freezing options.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives are added.
