Specialties

We expanded our berry collection in 2007 with our Beekers Berries specialties. Each specialty has its own unique taste, shape, and appearance. Our CEO Wil Beekers and Dutch strawberry breeder Hans de Jongh work together daily to cultivate the most delicious and extraordinary specialties.

Curious about all the different specialties? You can find them below!

Bubbleberry

With its incredibly strong, delightfully sweet scent, you can smell it from afar. So much aroma can be packed into such a small pink strawberry. And what about the taste? You might not believe it, but this unique pink strawberry really tastes like pink bubblegum! Would you like to give it a try as well? These healthy treats are available from April to June at the finest vegetable and fruit grocery stores.

Pineberry

Our smallest, but certainly not the youngest! The Pineberry, also known officially as Fragaria x Ananassa, is actually one of the oldest strawberry varieties in the world. With its white colour, red seeds, and subtly fresh and sweet (slightly pineapple-like) taste, the Pineberry truly stands out in the world of strawberries.

However, the Pineberry nearly went extinct before we had a chance to enjoy it. Thankfully, Dutch strawberry breeder Hans de Jongh intervened. After much patient research, cultivation, and harvesting, we’ve brought it back! Please note that Pineberries are only available from April to June.

Pinkberry

The Pinkberry is of medium size and uniform in shape, making it ideal for decorating cakes and pastries. Its distinctive pink-orange color adds an extra touch of charm to desserts and pastry creations. Using Pinkberries as decoration not only enhances the visual appeal but also introduces a subtle sweet note in taste. This not only makes your culinary creation visually appealing but also flavourful and memorable.

framboos-aardbei-strasberry

Strasberry

The raspberry-strawberry has nearly reached the respectable age of 100 years. Compact in size, it stands out with its unique appearance. With seeds set deeper into its surface, it resembles a raspberry but is definitely a strawberry, with a delightfully sweet summer fragrance and flavour—100% worthy of the strawberry name. Like its sisters in our specialties range, we harvest it from April to June and again in October and November!

Whether it’s on a cracker, in a dessert, a salad, or simply on a croissant, the Whiteberry adds a special touch to every dish with its striking appearance.

The Yellowberry is a tangy strawberry that is perfectly suited for salads and as an addition to ice cream and pastries, both for its flavour and its colour. This strawberry is of medium size and has a uniform shape, with a yellow hue.
