Frozen Garlic

Compass Egypt supplies frozen garlic that is pre-peeled and pre-chopped, processed immediately after harvest to preserve volatile oils and flavor compounds. The product is flash-frozen at -18°C or lower, maintaining moisture content between 82% and 86% and avoiding thermal degradation common in dried or powdered forms. This ensures consistent pungency and aroma suitable for industrial kitchens and food processors requiring reliable flavor delivery.

The garlic bulbs originate from Upper Egypt’s alluvial soils, known for high allicin potential. The raw material is graded for uniform bulb size, with no sprouting or mold detected at receipt. Typical industry standards for frozen garlic include a maximum of 2% foreign matter and a moisture content below 88%, both of which this product meets. Packaging is in 10kg polyethylene-lined cartons, designed for cold chain integrity and easy portioning in commercial settings.

This product is primarily sourced by food manufacturers producing sauces, soups, and ready meals, as well as large-scale catering operations in Europe and the Gulf region. Buyers typically order in 1,000kg increments, with palletized shipments available under FOB Port Said or CIF terms. Lead times are generally 10 to 14 days after order confirmation, subject to vessel availability. No certifications are stated by the supplier beyond general compliance claims, so buyers should request documented test reports for microbial load and heavy metal thresholds.

Compass Egypt is listed as an imported supplier with harbor-level trust verification, indicating active export operations through major Egyptian ports. The supplier profile does not disclose factory location, production capacity, or years in business. Response metrics show no recorded communication history, suggesting limited buyer interaction or system delays. The listing confirms no certifications, headcount, or client references, and no financial or operational claims are made beyond product handling.

The supplier’s only verifiable attribute is its origin in Egypt and its role as a handler of frozen garlic for export. There is no evidence of vertical integration, processing facilities, or in-house quality labs. Buyers should treat this as a trading entity rather than a manufacturer, and request proof of cold chain control and origin documentation. The absence of response data does not imply non-compliance, but confirms the need for direct verification of logistics and testing protocols.
