For the Zentis Bärchen fruit spreads, we use only selected fruits from controlled growing regions. The origin is determined by our high quality requirements – in addition to availability, the key factors are the degree of ripeness, taste, and processing quality of the fruit. Whenever possible, we rely on European origins and short transport routes. At the same time, we keep the global raw material situation in mind to ensure consistently high product quality.
