Alpe Pragas Pear and Lime Fruit Spread with 75% Fruit Content
The Alpe Pragas Pear and Lime fruit spread is a fantastic combination for a spread. Sweet pear paired with refreshing, sour lime best describes this Alpe Pragas fruit spread. The historic Williams Christ variety used was first documented in England in 1770. This pome fruit is popular both as a table fruit and for making fruit brandy. There, it often displays its strong taste and unmistakable aroma. Stefan Gruber has also captured this, simply cooked with a little sugar and lime juice, the Williams pear fruit spread tastes great in yogurt or quark and on any crispy croissant.
In the Dolomites, the Gruber family has been cultivating berries at an altitude of approximately 1250 m since 1994. In this alpine mountain climate, the fruits ripen longer and thus develop a particularly intense aroma. Great importance is placed on cultivating the fruits as naturally as possible: the seedlings are planted by hand, the fields are weeded several times until harvest, and irrigated with river and spring water from the Dolomites.
The Williams pear and lime spread, Pyrus Lime, in a 335g jar has a fruit content of 75%, gelled only with natural apple pectin.

Finest from Fruits – Quality from the Dolomites
Alpe Pragas is a gourmet manufacturer that produces the finest fruit products in the heart of the Dolomites. Since 2002, Alpe Pragas spreads have been a fixed part of our product range, and from the beginning, we have been enthusiastic about the special quality, the intense fruit flavor, and the unique consistency of Stefan Gruber's organic fruit spreads, marmalades, and jams. What is produced in the Alpe Pragas gourmet factory makes every gourmet smile.
The fruits are harvested ripe by hand, pitted, cleaned, and cut, then gently cooked without additives or preservatives. Vitamins and the natural color of the fruits, but above all a wonderfully intense fruit flavor, are thus preserved. The fruity range includes marmalade, fruit spreads with a high fruit content, organic jam, syrups, mostarde, and chutney as perfect accompaniments to cheese, meat, or fish dishes. Good from South Tyrol for connoisseurs: fresh, fruity, authentic! Simply delicious.
Alpe Pragas – Goals for the Future
Stefan Gruber continuously invests in more energy-efficient production. For this purpose, in 2010 he built a state-of-the-art production building as well as an alpine-designed sales and tasting room, and a new office wing. The processing of the fruits is an innovative process, yet as much as possible is done by hand. By optimizing production processes, resources can be conserved and energy saved, and waste has been reduced. The family father feels a responsibility towards the next generation to handle water, energy, air, and soil resources carefully. Stefan Gruber loves the region where he grew up and now lives with his family. "We want to produce green and become an ECO-Manufactory," he tells us.
