Bulk Diced Freeze-Dried Orange | Wholesale Manufacturing Grade
High-impact citrus inclusions for large-scale food production. Forever Foods’ Diced Freeze-Dried Orange provides a bright, zesty profile and vibrant natural color without the moisture complications of fresh or frozen citrus. Processed in our HACCP-certified Melbourne facility, these 100% pure orange pieces are engineered to maintain their intense aromatic oils and structural integrity in both dry and high-moisture manufacturing environments.
Solving Manufacturing Pain Points
- Citrus Oil Preservation: Our low-temperature freeze-drying process locks in the natural essential oils and Vitamin C, providing a fresh "zest" flavor that usually dissipates in traditional heat-dried fruit.
- Moisture Migration Control: With a water activity (aw) ≤ 0.30, our diced orange won't soften crispy inclusions or bleed juice into chocolate coatings, ensuring a premium, shelf-stable finish.
- Production Consistency: Uniform dicing ensures precise distribution in automated production lines, preventing "flavor hot spots" and ensuring consistent fruit-to-base ratios in every unit.
- Logistical Cost Reduction: As a shelf-stable, lightweight alternative to frozen orange segments, this product eliminates cold-chain dependency and significantly lowers shipping and storage overheads.

Industrial Applications
1. Chocolate & Confectionery
The ultimate inclusion for dark chocolate bars and citrus-infused pralines. The diced format provides a clean "crunch" and instant flavor burst without introducing water that could cause chocolate bloom.
2. Tea Blending & Beverages
Widely used by Australian tea blenders and craft brewers. The diced pieces provide high surface area for rapid flavor infusion, releasing natural citrus notes and vibrant color into hot or cold liquids.
3. Bakery & Snack Bars
Perfect for premium biscotti, granola bars, and muffin toppers. Unlike candied peel, our freeze-dried orange contains no added sugar or sulfur, meeting the "clean label" demands of modern consumers.
