E.E. & Brian Smith are a supplier of Blueberry IQF. The Blueberry IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) are produced by washing the Blueberries and checking for defects. They go through the freezing process ensuring each piece of fruit stays separate from each other ensuring a free-flowing product.
Once frozen the Blueberries are packed into cartons ready for shipment. The cartons are normally around 10kg in size.
We source all our Blueberries IQF from Spain and the UK. If required, we can supply ‘British’ or ‘Scottish’ Blueberries which might be good for seasonal products.
The Blueberries are used in a variety of different ways by UK food manufacturers including –
- Fruit Pies
- Ice cream
- Yoghurts
- Desserts
We always source our Blueberry IQF from suppliers which are BRC (or equivalent) approved and have also been audited by our own in house technical team.
