Verifruit®, a true fruit sensation with the characteristics of fresh fruit

Verifruit® is an innovative product developed by SVZ. Verifruit® is 'the next best thing to fresh fruit' because, as far as possible, it retains the characteristics of fresh fruit. This high-quality ingredient puts the true fruit sensation into your finished product, despite having an excellent shelf life, and being far less susceptible to damage during processing, than fresh fruit. On the basis of Verifruit®, you can develop new products which until recently were not possible.


The unique characteristics of Verifruit®


Verifruit® is just as natural as fresh fruit, as it is produced via a cold infusion process. In Verifruit®, the water from fruit is largely replaced by sugars. In both dried and deep-frozen form, Verifruit® remains just as soft as fresh fruit. However, Verifruit® has a much longer shelf life than fresh fruit, and retains a solid texture in the finished product.


Verifruit® is available in three variants:

  • Verifruit® with syrup
  • Verifruit® drained
  • Verifruit® dried



Product possibilities include a mixture of various fruit varieties.


In Verifruit®, the unique characteristics of fresh fruit are retained, including:

  • intense, fresh colour
  • juiciness
  • fruit aroma
  • texture

As a result, your finished product takes on a powerful fruit identity, and the consumer experiences the true sensation of fruit.


What can you do with Verifruit®?


Verifruit® is the ultimate ingredient for any application in which fruit really needs to be fruity, as experienced by the consumer. The infusion technology developed by SVZ makes new fruit applications possible, at a level of quality not achievable using other technology. Thanks to the three variants available, Verifruit® opens up a world of opportunities. Let yourself be inspired and advised by SVZ.


Verifruit® adds the value of a true fruit experience to products which then stand out in terms of quality. Application opportunities include:


  • ice cream, desserts, cheese
  • breakfast cereals, cereal bars
  • biscuits, cakes and cookies
  • sweets, chocolate, fruit bars
  • snacks such as dried fruit (& nut) mixes
