Freeze-dried wild blueberry: authentic flavor and vibrant color

Whole freeze-dried wild blueberry is wild bilberry from which water has been removed by freeze-drying, preserving its violet-blue color, aroma, and characteristic balance between sweetness and acidity. The result is a whole berry, light and crunchy, with the concentrated flavor of wild blueberry and no moisture or preservatives. As it is not season-dependent, it allows wild fruit to be incorporated into the menu year-round. Use as is, as a crunchy inclusion or decoration, or ground into powder for coloring and flavoring. As it is a hygroscopic product, it should be added to moist preparations just before serving to preserve the crunch.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is freeze-drying and why does it better preserve the color and flavor of the blueberry?
Freeze-drying removes water by sublimation (from ice directly to vapor, without passing through liquid) at low temperature. It is one of the methods that best preserves the blue color, aroma, and slightly acidic flavor of the wild blueberry, without preservatives and resulting in a light and stable product year-round.
Can freeze-dried blueberry be used inside sponge cakes and breads?
Yes, especially in low-hydration doughs, where it provides flavor and texture. In very moist doughs, it will absorb water and lose its crunch; in that case, it is advisable to add it after baking or grind it into powder to flavor the dough.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
Being a freeze-dried product, it is highly hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture quickly. Store the blueberries in a dry place at room temperature (15-25 °C), with the container tightly closed and, preferably, with a desiccant bag inside to maintain the crunchy texture for as long as possible.
