Sweet Karoline® blackberries are in peak season

The limited-edition Sweet Karoline® blackberry variety from Berry Fresh is available again. “Sweet Karoline® blackberries continue to delight consumers and change their expectations of the blackberry flavor profile” says Jyoti Bhogal, VP of Sales at Berry Fresh. “After several years in the market, we are pleased with the overwhelmingly positive feedback on this proprietary variety. We believe Sweet Karoline is the best blackberry eating experience in the market today”.

The Sweet Karoline ® blackberry was developed in the breeding program on blackberry farms at Expoberries Mexico, which is owned in partnership by Berry Fresh LLC. These blackberries are noted for their sweet flavor and outstanding quality characteristics. Sweet Karolines have better shelf-life and significantly higher brix levels than other varieties.
