tips

First, soft strawberries

First, pick out the soft strawberries from the container. These are best eaten right away. That way, the firmer strawberries stay fresh longer, so you can enjoy your strawberries for even longer.

Best consumed at room temperature.

Strawberries taste best when served at room temperature. For the best flavour, take your strawberries out of the fridge about half an hour before eating.

Do not wash beforehand.

Only wash your strawberries just before eating, and remove the crowns after washing — this helps keep them fresh for longer.

The perfect strawberry

Perfectly ripe strawberries are easy to spot by their deep red colour and sweet aroma. Delicious!

Growing Method

BelOrta strawberries are grown both outdoors and in greenhouses, on substrate as well as in soil. Outdoor cultivation produces strawberries with a firm texture and intense flavour, while greenhouse growing guarantees consistent quality and production. Both growing methods have their own benefits and ensure delicious, high-quality strawberries.
