Alpe Pragas – Elderberry Plum Fruit Spread with 75% Fruit Content
The Alpe Pragas Elderberry Plum fruit spread is a successful combination of two local fruits: sweet plums paired with intense, tart elderberries. Cooked with just a little sugar and lemon juice, this Alpe Pragas fruit spread tastes great on warm crêpes or with quark or yogurt. It tastes so good! So delicious!
In the Braies Valley, the Gruber family has been cultivating berries at an altitude of approximately 1250 m since 1994. In this alpine mountain climate, the fruits ripen longer, developing a particularly intense aroma. Great importance is placed on cultivating the fruits as naturally as possible: the seedlings are planted by hand, the fields are weeded several times until harvest, and irrigated with river and spring water from the Dolomites.
The Elderberry Plum "Sambucus nigra" spread in the 335g jar has a 75% fruit content, gelled only with natural apple pectin.

Finest from fruits – quality from the Dolomites
Alpe Pragas is a gourmet manufacturer that produces the finest fruit products in the heart of the Dolomites. Since 2002, Alpe Pragas spreads have been a permanent part of our product range, and from the beginning, we have been enthusiastic about the special quality, the intense fruit flavor, and the unique consistency of Stefan Gruber's organic fruit spreads, marmalades, and jams. What is produced in the Alpe Pragas gourmet manufactory makes every gourmet smile.
The ripe fruits are harvested by hand, pitted, cleaned, and cut, then gently cooked without additives or preservatives. This preserves vitamins, the natural color of the fruits, and above all, a wonderfully intense fruit flavor. The fruity range includes marmalade, fruit spreads with a high fruit content, organic jams, syrups, mustards, and chutneys as perfect accompaniments to cheese, meat, or fish dishes. Goodness from South Tyrol for connoisseurs: Fresh, fruity, authentic! Simply delicious.
Alpe Pragas – Goals for the Future
Stefan Gruber's next big goal is CO2-neutral production by 2027. To achieve this, in 2010 he built a state-of-the-art production facility, an alpine-designed sales and tasting room, and a new office wing. The processing of the fruits is an innovative process, yet as much as possible is done by hand. By optimizing production processes, resources can be conserved, energy saved, and waste reduced. The father of the family feels a responsibility to future generations to handle water, energy, air, and soil resources carefully. Stefan Gruber loves the region where he grew up and now lives with his family. "We want to produce green and become an ECO-Manufactory," he tells us.
