Frequently Asked Questions

 

What types of fruit purées does Puree Arête offer?

Puree Arête offers a wide range of all-natural fruit purées, including common fruits like strawberry and mango as well as exotic options like yuzu, guava, and passionfruit. All purées are free from added sugars, preservatives, and artificial additives, and are suitable for applications in beverages, desserts, baby food, cannabis edibles, pet foods, and more.


Are your fruit purées certified organic, non-GMO, or kosher?

While not certified organic, many of our purées are non-GMO and may be available with Kosher certification upon request. All products are clean-label and made from high-quality fruit with no added sugar, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.


What is the shelf life and storage requirement of your purées?

Our purées are aseptically packaged to ensure maximum shelf life without refrigeration. Most varieties maintain peak quality for 12–18 months when stored in a cool, dry place. Once opened, we recommend refrigeration and usage within a few days, depending on the application.


What packaging sizes are available?

We offer purées in two standard bulk formats: 5-gallon bags and 55-gallon drums, ideal for small-batch and large-scale production alike. This flexibility allows manufacturers to scale efficiently while minimizing waste.


Can I request custom fruit purée blends?

Absolutely. Puree Arête specializes in customizable fruit purée blends to help brands create signature flavors or meet unique formulation requirements. Whether you’re developing a seasonal SKU or a proprietary recipe, we work closely with your R&D team to deliver tailored solutions.


What are your minimum order quantities (MOQs)?

Our standard MOQs are aligned with our packaging sizes—one 5-gallon bag or one 55-gallon drum. However, for custom formulations or recurring partnerships, we offer flexible MOQs to support product development and growth stages.


How do you ensure product consistency and quality across batches?

We source high-quality fruits from vetted global suppliers and process all purées using strict quality control and aseptic standards to ensure batch-to-batch consistency in flavor, texture, and color. Every production run is monitored and tested to meet your exacting standards.


What does “aseptic” mean?

Aseptic processing is a sterile manufacturing method that involves heat-treating the purée to eliminate harmful microorganisms, then packaging it in sterilized containers in a sterile environment. This allows the purée to remain shelf-stable without refrigeration or preservatives, while maintaining its fresh taste, natural color, and safety for commercial use.


How reliable is your supply chain and delivery process?

Puree Arête ships to the continental U.S. and processes orders within 3–5 business days, with shipments sent out Monday through Wednesday to preserve freshness. We partner with trusted freight carriers and maintain clear communication on every order’s status.


Do you offer documentation for regulatory compliance?

Yes. We provide comprehensive documentation including certificates of analysis (COAs), nutritional specs, allergen declarations, and sourcing statements to support your FDA, USDA, or cannabis compliance requirements. Our purées are made to meet the demands of highly regulated sectors like baby food, cannabis, and health-conscious markets.


Can I order samples before committing to a bulk purchase?

Yes, we encourage prospective partners to test our purées through our sample program. This allows your team to validate quality, flavor, and formulation compatibility before scaling production.


Are your purées suitable for applications like brewing, baby food, or pet products?

Yes. Our purées are crafted for cross-industry versatility and are already being used in craft beverages, baby food, pet treats, gourmet desserts, cannabis edibles, and more. We understand the technical and regulatory nuances of each category and can provide guidance for your specific application.


What kind of customer support can I expect from Puree Arête?

Our team offers responsive and personalized support, whether you need formulation assistance, documentation for audits, or logistics coordination. You can reach us directly via phone or email, and we’re happy to assist from sampling to full-scale production.
