The most delicious specialties
Get to know the specialties from Beekers Berries. Specialties are unique strawberry varieties, each with its own distinctive appearance and flavour. These strawberries are carefully grown and are perfect for the connoisseur. Discover all our available specialties, be inspired by surprising recipes, and learn more about our growing process.
Whiteberry
A particularly special variety in the Beekers Berries portfolio is the Whiteberry. This specialty is characterised by its white colour, red seeds, and pinkish hue. The flavour is delightfully sweet and soft. Not only the taste but also the appearance of the Whiteberry adds an extra refined touch to any dish. Our tip: use the Whiteberry as a decoration on cakes or desserts.
Our Whiteberries are grown from January to June, and in October and November.
Strasberry
Although the appearance and flavour of the Strasberry are reminiscent of a raspberry, this specialty is truly a strawberry variety. The Strasberry has a compact shape and deep red colour. The seeds sit slightly deeper in the fruit compared to regular strawberries. Strasberries are very flavoursome – their intensely sweet and juicy taste instantly adds a summery accent.
Our Strasberries are grown from March to June, and in October and November.
Yellowberry
This special strawberry immediately stands out due to its sunny yellow colour. The Yellowberry has a fresh, slightly tart flavour – unlike our other specialties, where sweetness predominates. This specialty is perfect for adding to dishes for a surprising twist and a wonderfully fresh taste.
Our Yellowberries are available from April to June.
Pinkberry
The Pinkberry differs most in shape. Unlike a normal strawberry, the Pinkberry is round. It has a distinctive sweet, soft flavour and a striking pink-orange colour. This strawberry is not only delicious on its own but also adds a unique taste to cakes and desserts.
Our Pinkberries are available from April to June.
Pineberry
The Pineberry is a strawberry variety with more than just a unique appearance – its flavour is equally distinctive. This strawberry is white with red seeds and has a fresh, pineapple-like taste. In the 20th century, the Pineberry nearly became extinct, but thanks to its reintroduction in the 21st century, it is happily cultivated again.
Our Pineberries are available from April to June.
Bubbleberry
The strawberry variety with the most pronounced flavour is the Bubbleberry. This specialty is distinguished by its particularly sweet aroma and taste, reminiscent of pink chewing gum. The Bubbleberry is small in size and ranges in colour from pink to light red. This surprising specialty is perfect for use in gastronomy.
Our Bubbleberries are available from April to June.

The most delicious recipes with specialties
Storing specialties: how to keep them fresh
- Place a sheet of kitchen paper at the bottom of a container or on a plate. Spread the specialties over the container or plate, leaving the green tops intact. The kitchen paper will absorb any excess moisture.
- Store the specialties uncovered in the fridge, preferably in the vegetable drawer.
- Allow the specialties to reach room temperature before eating. Want to wash them? Do so only just before consumption.
Behind the Berries
How we grow our specialties
Our specialties are special in every aspect – and this starts with their cultivation. Pineberries and Strasberries do not produce their own pollen, which requires a different approach. The specialties are strategically planted among regular strawberry plants to ensure cross-pollination.
In addition, our specialties are grown in open soil but on raised beds. This not only allows us to grow the tastiest unique specialties but also contributes to an ergonomic working environment. This enables our team to work comfortably and in a healthy way.
Working with nature
We work closely with nature. In our greenhouses, bees, bumblebees, and other beneficial insects play an important role. Our bees come from a local beekeeper and, together with the bumblebees, ensure cross-pollination. Other insects act as natural predators to control harmful pests, helping us maintain a healthy environment for our berries.
Frequently asked questions
What can specialties be used for?
Each specialty has a delicious, unique flavour and is great to enjoy on its own as a snack. However, specialties are often used in gastronomy to give a dish a distinctive touch. Want to surprise your guests? Be sure to use one of our unique strawberries.
What is the difference between regular strawberries and specialties?
The cultivation of specialties is small-scale – these strawberries are truly niche products. Specialties are only available at certain times of the year in specialist fruit and vegetable shops and select restaurants.
