Features

Freeze-dried strawberry slices: strawberry red and natural sweetness

Freeze-dried strawberry slices are strawberries from which water has been removed by freeze-drying, preserving their strawberry-red colour, aroma and sweet, intense flavour. Each slice maintains the recognisable shape of the fruit with a light, crispy texture and a high concentration of flavour. Containing no moisture or preservatives, they are a clean, stable resource for working with strawberries out of season. They are used whole as high-impact decoration, chopped as inclusion or crushed into powder to colour and flavour. Being hygroscopic, they should be added to moist preparations at service time to retain their crispness.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is freeze-drying, and why does it better preserve strawberry colour and flavour?
Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation (from ice directly to vapour, without passing through liquid) at low temperature. It is one of the methods that best preserves the natural red colour, aroma and sweet flavour of the fruit, without preservatives and with a light, stable product all year round.
Can I use freeze-dried strawberry slices inside a sponge?
Yes, if the batter is low-moisture and stays dry. In very moist sponges they will absorb water and lose their crispness, so in those cases it is better to use them as decoration after baking or crush them into powder to flavour the batter.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
Being a freeze-dried product it is highly hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture rapidly. Store strawberry slices in a dry place at room temperature (15–25 °C), with the container tightly closed and, preferably, with a desiccant sachet inside to maintain the crispy texture as long as possible.
