Description
Boiron Blood Orange Puree is a premium 100% fruit preparation that captures the intense, sophisticated profile of the Sicilian Sanguinello and Moro varieties. Renowned for its dramatic deep-red color and a flavor that balances traditional citrus tartness with subtle notes of raspberry and red berries, this puree is a staple for high-end culinary and beverage programs. Boiron uses a specialized flash-pasteurization process to lock in the volatile aromatic oils of the fruit while ensuring a perfectly smooth, refined texture.
