Kosher Gluten Free Vean Non-GMO Organic No Preservatives Their Orchards They believe that the very best fruits come from their country of origin. The soil, the climate, the knowledge that the farmers have is evident in every piece of lusciously ripe fruit. They searched for the very best regions, producing the very best organic varieties of the fruits that they offer. Apricots, dates, figs and plums are all seasonal fruits that are picked fresh for Fruit Bliss. Continuing in the French tradition for exceptional taste, the Agen plum has been part of the culinary heritage in Southwestern France for centuries; prized for its natural tenderness and distinct flavor. In 2002, the European Union officially recognized the Agen plum, granting it a protected geographical designation. Today there is considerable production of Ente plums, the only variety that can be used to make dried plums entitled to the Agen designation. When they decided to offer plums, Agen was the only variety they would consider for Fruit Bliss.

When they say ‘Made from the fruit, the whole fruit and nothing but the fruit’, that’s exactly what they mean. Just along the way, the fruit gets a little steam bath to infuse some water. How simple is that?! Here’s how it works: Fruit Bliss is very different from typical dried fruits. One thing you will notice is that all of their fruits are a natural dark color.
