Sicoly Wild Blueberry Frozen Fruit Puree

TASTING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

The SICOLY Wild Blueberry Frozen Fruit Puree is made with organic wild blueberries grown in Eastern Europe. These berries are picked right at their optimal ripeness, and processed in SICOLY facilities in France. The blueberries are crushed then run through a sieve to ensure a smooth texture, then the pulp is de-aerated and undergoes a heat treatment with an ohmic heat treatment. These processes preserve the fruit’s taste, color, and texture.

This puree is purely made with natural ingredients and real blueberries, with all their flavor intact. It contains no added sugar; all the sweetness comes from the fruit.
