Used this to boost the strawberry flavor for cupcakes. Worked beautifully and the taste was really rich in real strawberry flavor. Would purchase again.
Freeze Dried Ice Cream Vanilla is a lightweight, shelf-stable vanilla dessert produced by industrial lyophilization that delivers concentrated vanilla aroma, a creamy mouthfeel and an airy, crunchy texture — ideal for ambient retail, gifting and travel-retail applications.
Ambient shelf stability: Properly packaged Freeze Dried Ice Cream Vanilla is shelf-stable for commercial claims (packaging dependent), simplifying logistics and store placement.
True vanilla flavor retention: Lyophilization preserves volatile flavor compounds and concentrates aroma — producing intense vanilla notes with creamy background.
Low weight, lower freight: Lightweight finished goods reduce shipping cost per unit compared with frozen products.
Ready-to-eat, premium mouthfeel: Delivers a melt-in-the-mouth sensation — no rehydration required.
Customization: Vanilla bean specks, natural vanilla extract, chocolate coatings, inclusions (crumbs, nuts) and tailored portion sizes available for OEM.
Freeze drying (lyophilization) freezes the ice-cream matrix and removes ice by sublimation (primary and secondary drying stages), producing a porous, low-moisture product that preserves flavor and structure without refrigeration.
Short answer / buyer value: We combine industrial freeze-dry lines, strict QA (batch COAs, aw & moisture testing), and global export experience with certifications (BRC/FDA/HACCP; Halal/Kosher optional). That enables consistent lots, scalable OEM and compliant labeling for EU/US/Middle East buyers.
Primary applications: retail single-serve pouches, premium gift tins, travel-retail impulse SKUs, inclusion in snack mixes, cereal topping, novelty products for tourism & airline amenity kits.

We maintain full ingredient traceability (vanilla origin & dairy suppliers), in-line weight checks, metal detection, and batch COAs for moisture, aw, microbial counts, and heavy metals. Freeze-dry cycles are programmed and validated — control of freezing rate, shelf temperature and chamber pressure is essential to protect structure and avoid oxidation or texture collapse. These controls set premium suppliers apart.

Q1: How does freeze drying affect vanilla flavor and aroma?
A1: Freeze drying removes water by sublimation at low temperature, which preserves volatile aroma compounds. With correct formulation (vanilla extract vs. bean specks) and optimized cycle, the process concentrates vanilla notes rather than dissipating them.
Q2: What residual moisture do you target to ensure crunch and safety?
A2: We target residual moisture typically below 3–5% and a sufficiently low water activity; exact targets are validated per SKU and included in the lot COA. Lower residual moisture reduces staling and microbial risks.
Q3: Will the product rehydrate or is it intended ready-to-eat?
A3: This SKU is formulated as a ready-to-eat crunchy dessert that melts on the tongue. Rehydration is possible in principle, but the product is optimized for immediate consumption as a crunchy/melting treat.
Q4: What packaging yields the longest practical shelf life for export?
A4: Metallized barrier pouches with nitrogen flush and oxygen absorbers or sealed tins with inner barrier lining show best long-term stability in commercial testing.
Q5: Are allergen & export documents supplied per lot?
A5: Yes — each export shipment can include COA, allergen declaration, packing list and MSDS. We support regulatory labeling for EU/US/GCC/East Asia markets.
Q6: How does your product differ from competitors?
A6: We emphasize validated freeze-dry cycles, low residual moisture, certified raw material sourcing (vanilla origin traceability), and export-grade packaging options — aimed at consistent sensory quality across lots. (Competitor specs were reviewed for market parity.)
