Crunchy and fragrant dried apples that will take your products to the next level.
We dry fruit using ecologically friendly technology without added sugar, fat or preservatives. We produce first-class slices, rings, cubes and other shapes from fragrant and healthy fruit on the most modern fruit drying line in Central Europe.
We supply crunchy dried fruit to leading Czech and European producers of muesli, porridge, snack bars and other products.

Are you looking for a different experience for your customers' taste buds? A stable supplier?
Offer your customers the excellent taste and aroma of dried fruit in your products. We can also provide you with pleasantly crunchy fruit with first-class flavour and delicacy. You will increase the competitive edge of your products and gain a reliable supplier of raw ingredients that meet all European legislative requirements.
We are inspired by our children, who love home-dried fruit. For this reason, we wanted to develop the idea of healthy snacking further. And so, a unique drying technology concept was born. Technology that keeps the fruit full of flavour, while making it pleasantly crunchy and yet so delicate that it literally melts in your mouth.
Quality starts with choosing the right growers
We purchase fresh apples exclusively from verified growers with whom we have long-term partnerships. We strive to source apples from the nearest possible regions. In this photo, you can see orchards from Ždánice in the Czech Republic, from where we supply dried organic apples to, for example, muesli manufacturers in Austria and Germany, or specialty biscuit producers in Italy.
Support the environment with a 100% eco-friendly product
How can you influence nature by choosing the right supplier? Here's how: choose our products and be sure that they are produced completely ecologically with a low carbon footprint. 100% of the energy used in production and drying comes from renewable sources. Be it heat or electricity.
We buy apples preferably in the Czech Republic and the nearby Central European region, thus eliminating the ecological burden of transport. We sort waste from production and part of it is further used for energy. So what, will you choose an organic producer from the heart of Europe?
