Founded in 1928, Tropical Preserving Company Inc has always understood the importance of quality. In the early days of production, locals were hired daily to clean, pit, peel and prepare the fresh fruits for processing. Today, top quality selections of everything from grapes to strawberries are frozen fresh and then delivered directly from the growers to Tropical. Tropical accepts only U.S. Grade "A" fruits for its jams and preserves.Time-proven production techniques, combined with specialized equipment and on-line quality control inspection of the jams and jellies, have resulted in Tropicals ability to provide the finest product lines available. Modern equipment, such as vacuum cookers, provide faster cooking times at lower temperatures. A high-speed piston filler, an automatic case packer and sealer contribute to Tropicals productivity and on-time shipments.
