Premium concentrated sour cherry syrup in an economical 3kg jug made with Iranian cherry concentrate for banquets, institutional catering, and hotels.
FAQ
At Alifard food technology laboratories, the Brix level of this sour cherry syrup is standardized strictly between 65% and 68%. The titratable acidity, derived from authentic fruit malic acid, is precision-calibrated against refined sugar solids so that upon 1:6 dilution with cold water, the signature authentic Persian sweet-tart profile is fully realized across large-scale banquet operations without supplemental sweetening.
The 3kg HDPE jugs exhibit exceptional impact resistance, completely eliminating the catastrophic breakage, leakage, and liquid loss hazards associated with glass bottles during maritime swells and rough overland transit. Furthermore, the packaging-to-product net weight efficiency exceeds 92%, whereas glass bottles consume substantial paid payload on deadweight container mass.
This SKU is packed in heavy-duty 5-ply cartons holding 4 jugs of 3kg each (~12.8 kg gross per carton). A standard industrial pallet (120x100 cm) holds 12 cartons per layer across 5 tiers—totaling 60 cartons (240 jugs, ~790 kg gross pallet weight). In containerized shipping, a standard 20ft container accommodates 1,400 to 1,500 strapped and stretch-wrapped cartons, delivering roughly 18 to 19 metric tons of net cargo within port road weight limits.
The ruby red hue is derived from natural cherry anthocyanins. Gentle vacuum thermal evaporation and optimal pH buffering protect the molecular integrity of the pigments. Furthermore, the opaque, thick walls of the HDPE container shield the liquid from destructive ultraviolet (UV) radiation, ensuring consistent red brilliance throughout its 18-month shelf life without browning.
Every commercial export shipment is supported by an authenticated Certificate of Analysis (COA) covering Brix levels, titratable acidity, heavy metal traces, and full microbiological safety. Official bilingual Health Certificates from the Iranian FDA, international Halal accreditation, and Chamber of Commerce Certificates of Origin are provided with shipping documents to ensure prompt customs clearance.
Owing to its dense sugar Brix and low water activity, the syrup resists bacterial spoilage once unsealed. However, to preserve delicate cherry aromatics and prevent sugar crystallization at the pouring spout, the container should be tightly recapped after each dispensing cycle, kept in a cool dry space (preferably refrigerated at 4°C to 8°C), and consumed within 30 to 45 days.
The baseline commercial MOQ is 50 cartons (4 jugs per carton, 200 jugs total). Confirmed orders are loaded and dispatched within 48 to 72 business hours directly from the central factory warehouse in Kaveh Industrial City, Saveh. Medium-truck procurements (~300 to 400 cartons) and full-trailer loads (~1,400 cartons) qualify for tiered volume rebates, priority dock dispatch, and full export documentary support.
