Preserving the Richness of Kalifar Golden Raisins

Kalifar Golden Raisins are a prized variety cultivated in the fertile vineyards of Uzbekistan’s Samarkand region, particularly in the districts of Ishtikhan and Urgut. Unlike sun-dried varieties, these raisins undergo a carefully controlled dehydration process using assisted heat, following a pre-treatment with sulfur dioxide (SO₂) to preserve their bright golden color and ensure microbiological stability.

After harvest at optimal ripeness, the grapes are washed, sorted by size and quality, and lightly coated with vegetable oil (typically sunflower or corn) to improve texture and prevent clumping. This meticulous processing results in raisins with a vivid yellow hue, smooth texture, and consistent shape—qualities highly appreciated in premium culinary applications.

Golden raisins offer a naturally sweet flavor, mild and balanced, with no added sugar. Nutritionally, they are a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and essential minerals such as iron, making them suitable for energy-boosting snacks or as a wholesome ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes.

Their appealing appearance and clean processing make Kalifar Golden Raisins a preferred choice for food manufacturers, chefs, and gourmet retailers looking for high standards and visual appeal. From bakery products to festive dishes and gourmet salads, they deliver both elegance and flavor.
