From Field to Freeze: Valinor’s Quality Chain

Updated: August 20, 2025•5–7 min read

At Valinor, quality starts at the source. We partner with audited farms and trusted growers to secure peak-ripeness produce, stabilize freshness through rapid chilling and IQF freezing, then gently freeze-dry to protect color, aroma, and nutrients.

Audited farms: traceability and good agricultural practices.

Rapid stabilization: pre-cooling and IQF to lock shape and color.

Gentle drying: low-temperature, vacuum freeze-drying minimizes nutrient loss.

Clean labels: consistent taste, long shelf life, easy storage.
