Frequently Asked Questions

Product Information

What makes preserves different from jam or spreads?

Preserves typically have larger pieces of fruit or even whole fruit, giving them a chunky texture and a more natural, fruity flavor. Jam, on the other hand, has a smoother consistency with crushed fruit, while spreads are often more processed and may include additional ingredients like oils or thickeners. Seréne Fruit Preserves stand out for their
vibrant flavors and exquisite textures, bringing a gourmet touch to your table.

What ingredients are used in Seréne Fruit Preserves?

Seréne Fruit Preserves are made with 85% fruit, cane sugar syrup, citric acid (for acidity balance), and fruit pectin—a natural thickening and stabilizing agent.
