Frequently Asked Questions

What are freeze-dried sweets?

Freeze-dried sweets are your favourite traditional sweets transformed through a freeze-drying process that removes almost all moisture. The result is an ultra-crunchy, airy sweet with an intensified flavour that melts on the tongue. All Freaze sweets are handmade in the UK using this process.

How are freeze-dried sweets made?

The freeze-drying process involves three stages: freezing the sweets to around −50°C, placing them in a vacuum chamber where the ice sublimates directly from solid to vapour, then a gentle drying phase to remove any remaining moisture. The result is a sweet that looks similar to the original but is dramatically crunchier, lighter, and more intensely flavoured.

What do freeze-dried sweets taste like?

Freeze-dried sweets taste more intense than the original. Because the water is removed, what's left is a concentrated hit of pure flavour — a freeze-dried cola sweet tastes more cola-ish, a fruity sweet delivers a bigger fruit punch. The texture is the other big difference — instead of chewy, you get a satisfying crunch that melts almost instantly on the tongue.

How long do freeze-dried sweets last?

Properly stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture, Freaze freeze-dried sweets can last up to 12 months or more. Because almost all moisture has been removed, they won't go sticky, soggy, or stale the way traditional sweets do. They are shelf-stable and do not need refrigeration.

Are freeze-dried sweets suitable for vegans?

Many Freaze products are vegan and vegetarian friendly. We stock a dedicated dietary range with clearly labelled vegan options. Check individual product pages for full allergen and dietary information. Some ranges are also halal-friendly — details are listed on each product page.
