Products Overview
At Cape Blanco Cranberries we use our unique late harvest cranberries in all our products. Harvested from late October or early November until as late as mid-December, our cranberries are on the vine, continuing to ripen long after other cranberries have been harvested. This extra time increases their sugar (brix level) and deepens the color to a dark burgundy. Vine ripened cranberries have lower acid which is what makes cranberries bitter. The other major growing regions are unable to keep their cranberries on the vine due to their more severe climates. In Wisconsin (producer of over half the cranberries in the US) and Massachusetts, harvest is normally completed by mid-October when we are just beginning. In addition, our cranberry vines bloom in May whereas the other major growing regions bloom in June and even July. Our truly vine ripened cranberries and the special care we take in growing, harvesting and packing sets a new standard of excellence, producing a very delicious cranberry.

BENEFITS OF USING FROZEN CRANBERRIES: When using cranberries, "a freeze-thaw" process will increase the "juice yield by up to 50% and anthocyanin extraction 15-fold" due to a disruption in the cellular structure. "Thawing encourages the migration of anthocyanins" from the skin to the interior parts of the cranberry "enhancing pigment extraction during pressing." (American Herbal Pharmacopoeia, 2002; editor Roy Upton, Herbalist; et al) Thus using frozen cranberries may give you a better product, depending on the process(es) you use.
