π₯ Explanation of dry matter and weight under water! π
Each batch of potatoes is tested for density and dry matter content using a starch tester. On average, our potatoes have 21% dry matter, but our goal is 29-30% to ensure crispy, less greasy fries.
π So we adjust the water content to achieve this superior quality. Every fry you enjoy is the result of strict standards and constant innovation!
π₯ To see how we measure the dry matter of our potatoes, watch our video below!
We are excited to announce a new π initiative that reinforces our commitment to safety !
π From now on , all visits to our company are carried out in an even safer manner. Our visitors wear fluorescent yellow vests π¦Ί , which allows our internal and external employees to recognize them π easily , even from a distance.
Whether in buildings or on the rest of the site, this measure guarantees clear and rapid identification π , thus reinforcing everyone's safety.
Together, for an ever safer working environment!
π₯ Why did we choose to work with potatoes? π§πͺ
The answer is simple: the potato is the Belgian product par excellence!
π§πͺ Founded by descendants of passionate farmers, our company perpetuates the family tradition and know-how . π¨βπΎ
In Belgium, potatoes are much more than just a food. They are an integral part of our culture and history, especially when they are transformed into our famous Belgian fries.π
By creating our company, we wanted not only to honor this heritage, but also to innovate in this field, offering the best of potato-derived products.
Don't miss our next post which will highlight the current green initiatives at Ecofrost. π±

π In 2026, with our new factory in PΓ©ronne and the expansion of Peruwelz, we are aiming for 550,000 tonnes of finished products.
Did you know that it takes 2 kg of potatoes to make 1 kg of finished product? π₯+π₯=π Now you know! π
Proud of our journey, we can't wait to discover what's next. πβ¨ Thank you for being part of this great adventure!

π₯OUR BEGINNINGS IN 2003 π
In our very first year, we were faced with the colossal challenge of breaking into an already saturated market.
The key to our survival? ποΈ
Our ability to distinguish ourselves through exceptional flexibility and efficiency. π
These values ββhave been the foundations on which we have built two decades of success.
Little anecdote: π€«
In the early days of Ecofrost, Sabine was preparing lunch, melting butter in a frying pan, when an emergency at the factory forced her to intervene quickly with Pol Vervaeke. Absorbed in solving the problem, they completely forgot about the kitchen. When they returned, they discovered a charred frying pan and a smoky kitchen, but fortunately without a fire. This incident has become a famous anecdote at Ecofrost.
For you, we have explored our archives since our beginnings to find these old photos for you. π
Thank you to all our customers and partners who have trusted us from the beginning and continue to do so. Together, we continue to evolve and push the boundaries of what is possible. π
π DISCOVER THE HISTORY OF ECOFROST π
In 2003, the visionary union of the Vervaeke and Hoflack families gave birth to Ecofrost.
The Vervaeke family , with generations of expertise in potato growing π₯, and the Hoflack family , seasoned specialists in vegetable freezing βοΈ, have combined their know-how to create high-quality frozen products.
πDid you know?
When he was at school, Pol Vervaeke, one of our founders, heard his teacher tell him: " You will never do anything good, you will just end up working in a chip shop. " Forty years later, Pol invited this same teacher, now retired, to visit "his fritkot" which has become a chip empire. π
Thank you to all those who accompany us in this extraordinary adventure. Let's continue together to innovate for future generations!
π Stay tuned to discover more anecdotes and surprises on our path to excellence. π±π
It is with great pleasure that we inform you of our brand new collaboration with Customs4Trade , a new

Hello ,
Have you ever wondered what the QR code on our boxes of fries is for? π€This QR code allows our operators to find the item directly by scanning it, thus avoiding errors on the labels.
Previously, when an operator had to create a label for a pallet, they had to fill in everything manually π€, which sometimes led to errors. Today, by scanning the QR code, our system automatically detects the right product, thus printing the right label linked to the right product. Isn't that a great idea? π
You too can try scanning this QR code which will take you directly to our range of products, you'll see, it's easy!! ππ

π± News from the potato fields π₯
At Ecofrost, we are intimately linked to the rhythm of nature. Growing potatoes is highly dependent on climate, making each season unique. π§οΈπ€οΈ
On the one hand, we observe plots in bare parts. The reason ? Farmers had to split some plants in two to have enough plants
.. These operations took place in particularly humid conditions, unfortunately increasing the risk of rot.
On the other hand, growth is very variable, resulting from different planting times. Our farmers planted as soon as possible between spring showers, from mid-April to early July, which resulted in diversity in our plant development.
π¦οΈ We are now hoping for "typically Belgian" weather to promote continued growth, especially for the last plantings: a refreshing mix of rain and rays of sunshine.
Fingers crossed for a sufficient and quality harvest! π€
π See you at the Feast of Saint Anne!π
We are delighted to announce that we are partners of the fabulous FΓͺte de Sainte-Anne in PΓ©ruwelz.

π Where? In Peruwelz, where we are proud to be partners.
This event promises to be memorable and we encourage you to participate with family or friends for a day filled with joy and festivities.

π Kosher Certified Flakes - A Respected Tradition, Assured Quality!π
We wish a happy Passover to the entire Jewish community. Passover is one of the three most important holidays and it will take place this year from April 22 to April 30ππ
During these festive days, anything made from the five main cereals is prohibited . No more bread, pizzas and other foods having themβπ
During Passover and in their daily lives, the consumption of so-called Kosher foods is strongly recommended for Jews. So, it is to meet this demand that we decided to have our flakes certified as Kosher π
We are confident that this new certification opens up new opportunities for us in the market, strengthening our position as a trusted supplier for a diverse range of food products π
ππ Preparing for the new 2024 harvest ππ
Even though we have just started the second quarter of 2024, our thoughts are already turning to the next potato harvest π₯
It is with enthusiasm that we share with you the preliminary details for this upcoming season:
- Early potatoes: called early potatoes, are generally harvested from June/July . Planting then logically begins from March β
- Storage potatoes: are harvested from September and can be stored throughout the rest of the year. Traditionally, their planting starts in April π
BUT
As you know, this year brings its share of challenges . Excessive rain since last year has caused two major problems π§:
- some potatoes could not be harvested last year, which is currently mobilizing farmers to remove them from the fields. Obviously, these potatoes are no longer intended for human consumption π
- waterlogged soils have delayed the planting of potato plants for the 2024 harvest. However, we remain hopeful for milder weather conditions to make up for this delay π
As Ecofrost is not infeasible , we would like to assure you that we will do everything possible to minimize the impact of weather conditions on our forecasts and the quality of our products πͺ
Together, we are ready to face the challenges this season has in store for us and ensure a successful harvest for 2024 π
π We are proud to announce that we have been selected to compete alongside four other companies to win the prestigious β ZoHRO Award β, which recognizes innovations in human resources. π
So, this Friday, April 19 , we will be present in Ghent to present our internal communication application, the Ecofrost App ! π±
We look forward to showing our audience how the Ecofrost App is revolutionizing the way we communicate within our business. π
Here is SΓ©bastien who started training as a packaging operator in factory A today. Good luck to him. π
