Process and product features

The company describes a process that begins with harvesting fruit at peak ripeness and ends with storing the finished product. In between, the fruit is peeled and crushed by hand, washed, cooked in an open pot, hot-filled into jars, and processed in a water bath. All products are described as 100% natural, without additives, colorings, or preservatives, and gluten-free, making them suitable for people with celiac disease. The company says it supports sustainable rural development by buying fruit from local farmers.
