Strawberry FROM INDIA

The hill station of Mahabaleshwar contributes to 80% of India's strawberry production. Known for their brilliant red hue, firmness, and sweet-tart flavor, Indian strawberries (varieties like Camarosa and Sweet Charlie) are carefully hand-picked, packed in protective punnets, and immediately pre-cooled to ensure they reach international markets fresh and intact.

Sourced from: Maharashtra (Mahabaleshwar, Satara), Himachal Pradesh (Shimla)
