Bulk Whole Freeze-Dried Sour Cherries | Premium Wholesale Manufacturing Grade
The ultimate visual inclusion for premium food production. Forever Foods’ Whole Freeze-Dried Sour Cherries deliver a high-impact aesthetic and an intense tart flavor profile. Unlike processed fruit pieces, these whole cherries offer a "hero ingredient" look for high-end applications without the logistical complexities of frozen IQF fruit. Processed in our HACCP-certified Melbourne facility, our cherries are lyophilized to preserve their natural shape and deep burgundy color.
Solving Manufacturing Pain Points
- Visual Premiumization: Whole cherries provide a luxury appearance in clear-packaging retail products like premium muesli, trail mixes, and chocolate boxes.
- Structural Integrity: Our specialized drying process ensures the fruit maintains its round, whole shape, providing a superior mouthfeel and "snap" compared to traditional air-dried alternatives.
- Moisture Migration Control: With a water activity (aw) ≤ 0.30, these whole cherries prevent color bleeding and moisture transfer in delicate bases like white chocolate or yogurt.
- Shelf-Stable Efficiency: Eliminate the need for expensive cold-storage. These cherries are ambient-stored, reducing energy costs and simplifying supply chain logistics for large-scale facilities.

Industrial Applications
1. Gourmet Confectionery
The gold standard for chocolate enrobing. Whole cherries provide a stunning centerpiece for dark or milk chocolate barks and truffles, offering a sharp flavor release that cuts through rich fats.
2. Luxury Cereal & Snack Packs
Designed for premium muesli blends and functional health snacks where visual identity is paramount. The whole fruit provides a 1:1 replacement for fresh fruit aesthetics with a fraction of the weight.
3. Tea & Beverage Infusions
Used by artisan tea blenders and distillers. Whole freeze-dried cherries rehydrate beautifully in liquids, releasing natural color and acidity without clouding the beverage or altering viscosity.
