Strawberry Puree is produced from fresh, ripe, high‑quality red strawberries (Fragaria ananassa). The fruits are carefully washed, rinsed, sorted, and crushed using a hammer mill, followed by controlled heat treatment and sieving. The puree is then sterilized under strictly controlled aseptic conditions and packed into multi‑layer foil laminate aseptic bags placed inside steel drums.

Each production batch undergoes comprehensive physical, chemical, and microbiological testing in accordance with the highest manufacturing and sanitary standards, ensuring a premium final product. The processed strawberry puree has an excellent flavor and aroma, a bright red color, and a smooth, homogeneous texture with thick consistency. It is free from foreign particles, off‑flavors, or aftertastes. All products are manufactured in compliance with HALAL, Kosher, and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements.
