Company Information:
Eckert Cold Storage Company, the leading provider of IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) peppers. With over 50 years of experience in the industry, we have established ourselves as a trusted supplier of high-quality frozen peppers. Located in Manteca, California, our processing plants in the USA and Mexico allow us to offer contra-seasonal production capability, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply for our customers.

At Eckert Cold Storage Company, our commitment is to deliver peppers that are harvested and flash frozen at the peak of freshness. This means that our peppers retain their vibrant colors, crisp texture, and natural flavors, even after being frozen. We take pride in our unique fire roasting process, which goes beyond the industry standard. Unlike others who only burn the outer skin, we core and open our peppers before the roasting begins. This allows the flames to roast the inside as well as the outside, creating a deeper and more flavorful product.

Did you know that technically, a bell pepper is considered a fruit? Although the culinary world classifies it as a vegetable, a bell pepper started as a flower and contains the seeds of the plant. Similar fruits that are commonly mistaken for vegetables include tomatoes, cucumbers, and peas. Aside from being delicious and versatile, bell peppers also offer numerous health benefits. By flash freezing our peppers, we are able to preserve their freshness, flavor, and nutritional value. This method also locks in water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C and B, which would otherwise dissipate over time.

Experience is key when it comes to producing the highest quality IQF bell peppers, and we take great pride in our expertise. With over 75 years in the industry, we have perfected the art and science of growing and processing peppers. Our grower partners operate family farms that have been in business for many generations, ensuring that only the best peppers make their way to our processing plants.

The growing season for bell peppers varies depending on the variety. While some are directly seeded, the majority of our bell pepper plants are transplanted from seedlings that were germinated in greenhouses. This enables us to have healthy plants and start the growing season sooner, all while conserving water. From transplanting in the fields to the first pick of fruit, the growing cycle can last as long as 90 days for green peppers and 130 days for red and yellow peppers. Many factors, such as weather conditions and proper care, play a crucial role in the growing cycle.

So, whether you’re a food manufacturer, retailer, or distributor, choose Eckert Cold Storage Company for all your IQF pepper needs. With our reliability of supply, unique fire roasting technique, dedication to quality, and years of experience, we are confident that we can exceed your expectations.
