Blast freezing is the process of pushing very cold air over a food product in order to freeze it as quickly as possible; it’s an excellent way to eliminate and prevent bacteria from multiplying in the food. The blast freezing process requires food to be frozen quickly so that the water molecules inside the products don't have a chance to form into ice crystals inside the packaging. Our standard blast freezer temperature hangs between -20 to -40 ºC. This is far colder than regular freezers, which tend to keep food at around -18 ºC. The big temperature difference means that we can freeze food effectively in under 3 hours; where it might take anywhere from 6 to 12 hours in a normal freezer (and can result in ‘freezer burn’!).
