Tangerine Aseptic Fruit Puree

As a fruit originally from Southeast Asia, we want to highlight the best and most natural flavors in our puree. As such, we primarily source our tangerine fruit from specialty farms around tropical Southeast Asia.

We take the health and freshness of our fruit purees seriously, and we want everyone to be able to experience our craft! Our fruit purees are certified Kosher, vegan, gluten-free, and produced without GMOs or other growth hormones.

Like all of our fruit purees, our tangerine product has a shelf-life of 18 months from preparation date, when stored properly in its packaging below 77° F. Opened packages should be refrigerated and consumed within 10 days, or frozen to maintain additional shelf-life.

Tangerine puree works especially well in sours, kombuchas, ciders, and fruit seltzers, where its citrus aroma stands out. It also blends smoothly with other citrus and tropical purees like orange or mango for layered flavor profiles. Its bold aromatic quality makes it a strong choice for brewers wanting a fruit-forward finish.

Many brewers add it directly during secondary fermentation, while others adjust ratios based on batch size and how bold they want the citrus character to come through.

Puree retains more of the fruit's pulp and aromatic compounds than plain juice, contributing both flavor and a fuller mouthfeel to beverages. Because Fierce Fruit's citrus purees are closer to a fine juice with pulp, they still provide a fresher, more rounded tangerine character than juice concentrate alone.
