Alpe Pragas Blueberry Compote originates in the heart of the South Tyrolean Dolomites, amongst the woods and mountains of Braies, where the fruit is carefully selected and processed by a family-run business that has been operating since 1997.
It is made with 75 per cent fresh wild blueberries, harvested from the wild, with no colourings or preservatives.
Alpe Pragas uses wild blackcurrants of the species Vaccinium myrtillus, which grow wild in the countryside and are distinct from the common cultivated blackcurrant.Its dark colour is due to the natural presence of anthocyanins, the same pigments that can leave a temporary blue tint on the mouth and teeth.
