What Eco Fresh does

Eco Fresh is a Brazilian manufacturer of premium frozen desserts, founded in 2012 and headquartered in Barueri, São Paulo. The company specializes in water-based açaí sorbets and exotic Brazilian fruit creams, with a product portfolio spanning traditional, zero-sugar, and organic açaí variants alongside fruit cream lines featuring cupuaçu, tapioca com coco, paçoca, café e cacau, leite em pó, and chocolate belga, as well as a newer water-based sorbets line in coconut water, strawberry, pitaya, and passion fruit. Products are manufactured at a single facility in Barueri and packaged across multiple sizes from 220 ml single-serve retail formats up to 10 L bulk food-service containers. The company carries a strong certification portfolio including USDA Organic, European Organic, Brazilian Organic, BDK Kosher, Vegan, and IFS food safety standards.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market across three revenue streams: branded retail sales through more than fifteen Brazilian supermarket and wholesale chains (Carrefour, Assai, Atacadão, Angeloni, Giassi, Super Japão, Nagumo, Coop, Andorinha, Grupo Bem Barato, Dia, Emporium São Paulo), direct food-service sales to ice cream shops and snack bars in 5L and 10L bulk formats via WhatsApp, and a B2B private label manufacturing program producing açaí and fruit creams under retailer brands including Sams Club, Dia, Swift, Açaí Concept, Public, and Roldão. Products also reach consumers through on-demand delivery platforms (Rappi, Cornershop, Shopper) and are exported to the United States. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; consumer transactions are pay-as-you-go while private label contracts are negotiated individually based on formulation complexity, packaging, and volume, typically structured as multi-year agreements with no fixed minimum order requirements.
