Oregon Fruit Products Unveils Soursop/Tangerine Puree; First Blended Puree in Fruit for Fermentation Line
Salem, Ore. (PRWEB) August 22, 2017 -- Oregon Fruit Products LLC today released its most unique, and perhaps most unfamiliar flavor in its limited series for the fermentation market: Soursop/Tangerine puree, a blend of soursop and tangerine fruits designed to add fruit dimension and flavor to a variety of fermented beverages, such as beer, cider, mead, spirits, wine and kombucha.
The blended puree contains 90 percent soursop fruit and 10 percent tangerine. Soursop is grown in tropical countries and is known for its bright, tangy flavor, with strawberry and pineapple notes and creamy white flesh. The addition of tangerine to the mixture creates a refreshing citrus pop and enhances the tropical notes of the Soursop. Once combined, puree coloring is a muted Creamsicle-orange color. Like all Fruit for Fermentation purees, Soursop/Tangerine has no added sugar, preservatives or additives, and is packaged aseptically for shelf-stability and ease of use.
The idea for the exotic and little-known soursop puree came courtesy of Bryan Winslow, co-owner and head brewer at St. Elmo Brewing in Austin, Texas. Winslow leases space to a food truck on the brewery premises named “Soursop.” Naturally, he thought a soursop beer would pair nicely with the Southeast Asian-inspired food. Having brewed with Oregon Fruit Products’ purees in the past, he reached out to the company, and a collaboration was born.
“The genesis of Soursop/Tangerine is a perfect example of the type of the business partnerships we like to foster with our brewing customers,” says Chris Hodge, director of sales for fermentation at Oregon Fruit Products. “This is definitely our most adventurous puree to date and we can’t wait to see how our customer base responds to the unique flavor of this innovative fruit combination.”
