Biofiture Apricot 20g

What does BIOFITURE mean?

BIOFITURE has been a registered trademark of PLETTERBAUER - fine vienna since 2007. It stands for organic jam of the highest quality with a high fruit and low sugar content. In addition, this brand serves as a guide for our customers in the confusing jungle of regulations and terms regarding the definitions of “jam”.

The main quality features of BIOFITURE are: 70% fruit content Only class 1A fruits are used Fruits exclusively from European organic farmers Only 44% total sugar content and therefore suitable for diabetics 100% organic sugar Organic lemon juice concentrate instead of citric acid No additives (flavors, colorings or preservatives ) 100% free of genetic engineering and allergens. Recyclable, tasteless and PVC-free packaging.

​

​​​​​70 %Fruit content

This is not a given when you consider that the jam regulations only stipulate a 35% fruit content and 45% to 50% (at least in portions) is common. Since the jam customer wants to enjoy the fruit rather than the sweetness, we cook our BIOFITURE from fruit with sugar and not the other way around.

Organic fruit

For BIOFITURE we only use fruits of quality class 1A and no fruit concentrates. Our fruits come from European organic farmers: Strawberries: Bulgaria, Poland, Spain Apricots: Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Spain Sour cherries: Bulgaria, Poland Raspberries: Serbia

organic sugar

AGRANA has been providing us with Austrian organic beet sugar for many years. In case of non-availablility, we are using organic cane sugar from South-America.  

Reduced sugar content

   Jams, jams and fruit spreads are often produced with sugar content between 50% and 60%. This used to have the purpose of a longer shelf life and is currently still governed by the Jam Regulation , which prescribes a minimum sugar content of 60% for jams. BIOFITURE has the optimal sugar content of 44g/100g! This gives the highest fruit enjoyment and also diabetics can enjoy our jams: 1 serving corresponds to only 0.73 bread units (BE)

Organic lemon juice concentrate from Sicily

Although in the production of organic jam the ingredient citric acid is allowed, we use the natural acidifier lemon juice concentrate instead of artificially produced citric acid.

Pectin

This is made from GMO-free citrus fruits. BIOFITURE is therefore also suitable for consumers who want to eat vegetarian or vegan. ​

Konservierungsstoffe
 
These are, according to Regulation (EC) No 834/2007 , prohibited in any case for organic foodstuffs, but would also no longer be necessary in some conventional jams in single packs. Unfortunately, consumers are often not informed of the use of preservatives (eg potassium sorbate) due to lack of information on the portion pack.
