Alpe Pragas – Red Currant – Fruit Spread with 75% Fruit Content
The Alpe Pragas red currant fruit spread combines sweet-tart indulgence with traditional flavor, just like from Grandma's garden. The red currant (Ribes), a European berry fruit from the gooseberry family, traditionally ripens around St. John's Day on June 24th and gives the spread its characteristic slightly sour note. Gently cooked with just a little sugar and lemon juice, this combination unfolds its full aroma and tastes excellent on warm crêpes, in muesli, with quark, or yogurt.
In the idyllic Braies Valley, the Gruber family has been cultivating berries since 1994 at an altitude of approximately 1250 m in an alpine mountain climate, which ensures a longer ripening period and a particularly intense fruit aroma. Natural cultivation is central: hand-planted seedlings, repeated weeding of the fields, and irrigation with pure river and spring water from the Dolomites guarantee the highest quality and freshness.
This fruit spread contains a high fruit content of 75% and is gelled exclusively with natural apple pectin. It contains no artificial additives, preservatives, colorings, or flavorings, is gluten-free and vegan – a delicious, pure indulgence for conscious connoisseurs.
