This juicy fruit freshens up salads and even sushi. For chefs, the labor savings from using Wawona’s fresh frozen mangos ensures everything in the back-of-the-house runs smoother.
Wawona Frozen Foods is the oldest, largest and most prestigious family-owned company in the frozen peach industry. From orchards throughout California, including 600 acres of company-owned trees in Clovis, peaches are carefully hand-picked at harvest and transferred to the processing facility. After washing, sizing, pitting, peeling and frequent inspections, the golden peach halves move on conveyor belts by professional graders who separate the fruit into Wawona’s four product lines:
Whether conventional or organic, Wawona offers a number of varieties of fresh frozen strawberries – all delivered with box-to-box consistent quality.

Restaurants are recognizing their versatility and menu pineapples as a healthy ingredient.

Wawona is proud to be the premium supplier of blueberries which provide numerous health benefits against heart disease and cancer.
Wawona has several unique blends of mixed fruit – from traditional 3- and 4-Berry Blends to a kaleidoscope of colors and flavors in the Spectrum Blend (Peaches, Strawberries, White Peaches, Honeydew Melon, Blueberries and Pineapple). Each of Wawona’s mixed fruit options are filled with fresh fruit that is individually quick frozen to preserve the juicy flavors. Most are California-grown fruits except for the pears, which are from Washington, and the pineapples and mangos are imported. All the imported fruit is meticulously sourced to ensure it has the same quality and safety levels as domestic fruit.
