Alpe Pragas – Raspberry Rhubarb Fruit Spread with 75% Fruit Content
The Alpe Pragas Raspberry Rhubarb Fruit Spread is a delicious spread that brings summer to your bread. This Alpe Pragas fruit spread consists of equal parts of fragrant raspberries and unmistakable rhubarb. Stefan Gruber, owner of Alpe Pragas, loves the Willamette variety, which is a summer raspberry known for its particularly intense aroma. The berries grow on his farm in Außer Prags in the heart of the Dolomites. The wonderful combination with the tart rhubarb reminds me of my mother's rhubarb compote. Cooked with just a little sugar and lemon juice, this combination tastes great on warm crepes or with quark and vanilla pudding or ice cream and on any croissant. Simply good enough to eat by the spoon.
In the Val di Braies, the Gruber family has been growing berries since 1994 at an altitude of approximately 1250 m. 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 Raspberry & Rhubarb spread, which Stefan calls Raspbarbarum, has a fruit content of 75% and is gelled only with natural apple pectin. Here in a 335g jam jar.

Finest from Fruits – Quality from the Dolomites
Alpe Pragas is a gourmet manufactory that produces the finest fruit products in the heart of the Dolomites. Since 2002, Alpe Pragas spreads have been a permanent part of our product range, and from the very beginning, we have been impressed by the special quality, the intense fruit flavor, and the unique consistency of Stefan Gruber's fruit spreads, jams, and organic preserves. What is produced in the Alpe Pragas gourmet manufactory, like this Raspberry Rhubarb fruit spread, 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 the wonderfully intense fruit flavor, are thus preserved. The fruity range includes marmalades, fruit spreads with a high fruit content, organic preserves, syrups, mostardas, and chutneys as perfect accompaniments to cheese, meat, or fish dishes. Good things from South Tyrol for connoisseurs: Fresh, fruity, authentic! Simply delicious.
Alpe Pragas – Goals for the Future
Stefan Gruber's next big goal is CO2-neutral production by 2027. To this end, he built a state-of-the-art production building in 2010, 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 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.
