we also source blackberries from New Zealand
which they probably import from china, repackage and label as a product of new zealand :)
Nannas are usually from Chile but can be from China also.
often the Creative Gourmet frozen berries are from China
-1 not often:
Raspberries: Chile, Serbia
Blueberries: Canada, Chile
Organic berries: Chile, Europe, Canada, Argentina
Cherries: USA
Strawberries: China, Argentina
Blackberries: China, New Zealand
Black Currants: New Zealand
That's if you trust that the berries are in fact "product of ______" when those other countries are listed. Especially those listed from NZ.

Considering the ones from China occur in the mixed berries too, I'd still call that often enough. Highly doubt those currants are NZ grown either :P
Either way, though, I buy fresh Aussie berries and freeze them myself for the rest of the year when they're not in season. They taste a hell of a lot better, too. I've tried the Creative Gourmet strawberries and they were tasteless. They're still taking up room in my freezer lol.

Made in New Zealand from local and imported ingredients
no such statement from Creative Gourmet
Considering the ones from China occur in the mixed berries too
Creative Gourmet Mixed Berries are sourced from Chile or Serbia (Raspberries), China or New Zealand (Blackberries), Poland (Red Currants), Canada (Wild Blueberries) and New Zealand (Black Currants).
Highly doubt those currants are NZ grown either :P
why?

i only buy their raspberries :)
Why? Because I'm a bitter, skeptical old cow, that's why :P

I wish I could plus this twice. Thanks so much for posting the creamy classics in the title! Was going to buy tomorrow but I can hold off until Wednesday and buy a few tubs!!
Bought one today and it's quite grainy. Not the normal standard of the product. Wondering whether I should exchange it or if the whole batch is on special. Anyone bought one and found the same thing?

mine came with bonus refill :)
For anyone cautious about where their food is sourced from: often the Creative Gourmet frozen berries are from China. Browse their website and see the descriptions of each product for more info :)
eg. "Creative Gourmet Blackberries are primarily sourced from China. Occasionally when supply is low or the high quality we expect is unavailable, we also source blackberries from New Zealand."
