Bionaturae Organic Apricot Fruit Spread is produced using hand-harvested organic fruit from small family farms. The flavor of Italian fruit is sweet, intense and true. It speaks to the pride of the farmers who produce the fruits, and cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the world. Our air-tight cooking method and superior quality fruit enables us to use very low temperatures and much less sweetener, enhancing the fruit's goodness. Our fruit spreads require refrigeration after opening as they are made with no added sugars or preservatives. It is best to consume this product within 14 days of opening. Refrigerated shelf life may vary.
