Who We Are

Products for the planet

From sourcing responsibly wild-harvested açaí to organically grown dragon fruit, we understand the need to be stewards for the environment. We take a long-term approach with all of the decisions we make to build a sustainable future that will last for generations to come.

Quality from Beginning to End

We start by sourcing açaí berries that are tree ripened and ready to be processed at the peak of freshness. Product is tested, gently processed and immediately frozen to ensure consistency across the board. Quality control from the tree to the bowl.

Harvesting
Unlike blueberries, peaches or grapes, these little gems packed with antioxidants take some real effort and skill to release for processing when they are good and ready.
Transportation
You don’t have much time from pick to pack. These berries are full of the healthy omega fats and need to be frozen fast, fast, fast. We move quickly to ensure the highest quality possible. Tastes just like it does down in Brazil.
Processing
State of the art equipment, experienced technicians, top-notch laboratories, and impeccable quality control: that’s how Especial does it.
Delivered To You
After decades in the food service industry, we carefully select the most educated and experienced personnel and distributors to deliver the best of the best to consumers.

Safety and sustainability

Food safety is paramount in our production facility. Organic, Kosher, Non-GMO. We’ve got it covered and run in a FDA approved and third-party audited production facility. We test every production batch to be sure all the product meets tight quality specifications. All the good stuff and nothing else.

Supporting the Amazon

As we use the gifts of the Amazon region, we are mindful to give back to support the people and environment. Especial Fruits proudly supports the Movement of Women of the Belém Island, in the native Portuguese, Movimento das Mulheres das Ilhas de Belém (MMIB).

Since 1998 on the island of Cotijuba, the MMIB has been working to promote women’s rights, environmental impacts of sustainability, and the social development of Cotijuba and surrounding islands.

By crafting jewelry from the seeds of the Acai berry, the MMIB has led initiatives to creating a library and reading room, a digital inclusion center to provide computer access and education, and activity organization for the elderly. Especial Fruits supports the MMIB by buying and distributing their handmade Acai jewelry.
