The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley has introduced two new purées with unexpected flavors. Camu Camu is a tart red berry from the Amazon rainforest with exceptionally high Vitamin C content and powerful antioxidant properties. Soursop, also called graviola or guanabana, is a sweet, tangy tropical fruit high in fiber and Vitamin C.
Both flavors give kitchen and bar professionals global flavors they’re seeking with true-to-fruit taste and ideal consistency for drinks, sauces, desserts and more. Camu and Soursop are Kosher, vegan and GMO-free. They are available now in 30-ounce jars and cases of six jars from The Perfect Purée’s online store and foodservice distributors nationwide.
“Professionals and enthusiasts will have a lot of fun playing with these new tropical flavors,” says Michele Lex, chief executive officer of The Perfect Purée of Napa Valley. “While Soursop is a delightful, familiar favorite, Camu Camu is a rare, exclusive flavor that we’re excited to share with those who already know it and with new fans.”

Camu Camu Puree is a super fruit crafted from the nutrient-rich reddish-purple berries of the Amazon rainforest. Revered by indigenous populations throughout South America for its medicinal properties, Camu Camu is harvested by boat from tall shrubs that grow in water part of the year. Bright tartness and subtle citrus undertones make Camu Camu a versatile rising star for both culinary and beverage innovation. Camu Camu is Kosher, vegan and non-GMO. Its tart, tangy flavor goes well with sweeter fruits like pineapple, mango, cherries and coconut.
Soursop Puree captures the lush, tropical essence of this sensational fruit, also known as guanabana or graviola. Native to the tropics, Soursop is a large, aromatic fruit that grows on broadleaf evergreen trees and weighs 3-4 pounds when mature. Its spiky green skin reveals sweet, creamy white flesh whose flavor is compared to a mix of apple, pineapple, banana and strawberry. Soursop brings a captivating aroma to every creation from beverages to desserts.
