What to specify when you buy

A useful quotation starts with the specification you need. Discuss the points below with our team; the agreed specification sheet defines the product supplied.

  1. Confirm pitted status and agree the inspection and acceptance criteria for pits and pit fragments.
  2. Agree the required sweetness and acidity profile; request Brix and acidity results if needed for formulation.
  3. Set whole-piece, broken-piece and crumble tolerances to suit the finished product.
  4. Evaluate drained weight, thawing loss and texture using the thawing method from your production line.

Evaluate a sample in your own process

Share your end use and target specification when requesting a sample. Compare appearance, size distribution and performance in your actual recipe. Agree the acceptance criteria and relevant batch documents before placing an order.

Packing and shipment planning

Tell us the net weight per inner pack, packs per carton, estimated order quantity and destination country or port. Include pallet, label and delivery-window requirements where relevant. Packing availability, minimum order, lead time and trade terms are confirmed in the quotation.

Storage and handling

Keep the product frozen through storage and transport and follow the temperature and shelf-life instructions on the agreed specification. Freezing is not a sterilization step. Confirm cooking or further-processing requirements for the intended application.
