Freeze-dried whole strawberry: high-impact sweetness and color

Freeze-dried whole strawberry is strawberry from which water has been removed by freeze-drying, preserving its red color, aroma, and natural sweetness. The result is a whole, light, and crunchy piece with great visual appeal and concentrated fruit flavor, without moisture or preservatives. Not being season-dependent, it allows working with strawberries year-round with constant quality.

It is used as is, for decoration or inclusion, or ground into strawberry powder. Having low water content, it is especially interesting in chocolate making, where it adds no unwanted moisture; being hygroscopic, it should be added to moist media just before serving to preserve the crunch.

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 becoming liquid) at low temperature. It’s one of the methods that best preserves strawberry’s natural red colour, aroma and sweet flavour, without preservatives, and with a light, stable product all year round.
Why is freeze-dried strawberry so interesting for chocolate making?
Having very little water, it can be incorporated into chocolate without the risk of moisture causing it to seize or altering its texture, adding flavor and crunch to bars and bonbons. Additionally, when ground, it provides a strawberry powder to color coatings naturally.
How should I store it once the package has been opened?
As a freeze-dried product, it is highly hygroscopic: it absorbs moisture quickly. Store strawberries 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.
