Strawberry Purée
Classic berry flavor. Fresh possibilities.
Strawberry is one of those flavors people recognize instantly. Sweet, bright, and familiar, it has a way of making almost anything feel a little more inviting.
Our aseptic Strawberry Purée is made from seedless strawberries selected for their fresh flavor and vibrant red color. The result is a smooth, fruit-forward purée with the naturally sweet taste and gentle tartness that make strawberries so appealing.
With no added sugar or preservatives, it’s a versatile clean-label ingredient for food and beverage manufacturers who want authentic strawberry flavor in their finished products.
Familiar Flavor. Plenty of Room to Create.
Strawberry may be a classic, but there’s nothing ordinary about what you can do with it.
Purée Arêté Strawberry Purée brings fresh berry flavor, vibrant color, and natural sweetness to a wide range of commercial formulations. Its familiar taste makes it an easy choice as a featured flavor, while its versatility allows it to complement citrus, herbs, other fruits, and richer dessert ingredients.
Use it to develop:
- RTD cocktails and mocktails
- Fruited beers and fermented beverages
- Juices, smoothies, and functional beverages
- Sauces, glazes, and fruit toppings
- Bakery fillings and desserts
- Ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and frozen desserts
- Confections and gummies
- Other strawberry-forward applications
Whether strawberry is the star of your next product or part of a more adventurous flavor combination, it brings a familiar fruit character that customers already know and love.
Flavor Pairings
Strawberry has a familiar flavor, but the right pairing can take it somewhere completely unexpected.
Rhubarb, lemon, lime, basil, mint, vanilla, chocolate, banana, peach, raspberry, and balsamic.
Pair it with rhubarb or citrus for a bright, sweet-tart combination, or bring in basil and mint for a refreshing botanical twist. Vanilla and chocolate create a richer, dessert-inspired profile, while peach and banana add a softer, mellow fruit character.
From refreshing summer beverages to indulgent frozen desserts and innovative confections, strawberry offers a familiar starting point with plenty of room to experiment.
Suggested Starting Point
For beer, cider, seltzer, and fermented beverage applications, consider starting with approximately 0.5–1 lb of strawberry purée per finished gallon. Use the lower end for a light, refreshing strawberry note or increase the amount for more pronounced berry flavor, richer color, and fuller fruit character.
Because strawberry has a delicate aroma that can change during fermentation, we recommend small-batch testing to fine-tune fruit intensity, sweetness, acidity, and color. The point at which the purée is added during production can also influence the finished strawberry flavor and aroma.
For RTDs, juices, smoothies, sauces, desserts, confections, and other applications, begin with a pilot formulation and adjust based on how prominently strawberry should contribute flavor, color, sweetness, acidity, and body.
Pilot testing is recommended before scaling to evaluate flavor intensity, Brix, pH, color stability, haze, filtration, mouthfeel, and finished-product stability.
