Clearspring’s Organic [1] Fruit Purée Desserts are something special. They contain nothing but 100% pure fruit, with no additives, colourings or preservatives of any kind. Here, we take a look at the special process that turns the perfectly ripened fruit into purée, without taking away any flavour or goodness.

Gabriele Longanesi of Natura Nuova has used his engineering skills to design a unique method of preparing the fruit. It differs from the typical fruit purée process by avoiding long exposure of the fruit to high temperatures and contact with the air, both of which cause flavour and vitamin loss, and which is why conventional producers so readily add sweeteners and concentrates to their product. The organic fruit purées Gabriele produces for Clearspring taste so good they have no need for such additives.

The entire production process from raw material to packaged purée takes less than an hour, but before it begins the carefully selected fruit is washed in fresh drinking water and quality controlled by hand to ensure that only the best is included.

Next, the edible parts of the fruit are separated from the non-edible parts by passing it through a sieve. During this process, a low temperature is maintained, which avoids discolouration and any bitter flavours, as well as helping to conserve vitamins.

The fruit pulp that emerges is immediately put under vacuum to protect it from oxidation and prepare it for the special blanching method. It is this delicate blanching that is unique to Natura Nuova and is the secret of the resulting purée.

Once the various fruit purées have been blended to create all eight of Clearspring’s delicious varieties the mixtures are pasteurized, packaged and dispatched. The result of this unique process is that you can enjoy fruit that tastes as fresh as though it were newly picked.
