Production and Product Details

The product shown is 'Groente-Idee Hollands', a specific frozen vegetable medley tailored for the Dutch market. While many of the peas and vegetables are sourced from high-quality farms across Europe (including Germany and Belgium), the product is processed and packaged in various specialized facilities throughout the continent. This infrastructure allows Iglo to flash-freeze vegetables shortly after harvest to preserve nutritional value and flavor. The 'Hollands' variety typically features a mix of carrots, peas, potatoes, and mushrooms seasoned with parsley, designed for quick pan-cooking.
