Alpe Pragas Fruit Spread Limited Edition 01 made from Senga Sengana Strawberries
Alpe Pragas Senga Sengana Strawberry Fruit Spread: For this Alpe Pragas Fruit Spread Limited Edition No 01, only Senga Sengana strawberries are used. The Senga Sengana variety is known for its intense aroma. This old variety, bred by Reinhold von Sengbusch back in 1950, ripens a little earlier than other varieties, and although the fruits are a bit smaller, their magnificent taste convinces connoisseurs. Stefan Gruber grows these fruits himself on his farm in Außer Prags. Cooked with just a little sugar and lemon juice, the pure Senga Sengana strawberry variety tastes great in yogurt, on warm waffles, or with Topfenknödel (quark dumplings).
In the Dolomites, the Gruber family has been growing berries since 1994 at an altitude of approximately 1250 m. In this alpine mountain climate, the fruits ripen longer and thus develop a particularly intense aroma. Great importance is placed on cultivation that is as close to nature as possible: the seedlings are planted by hand, the fields are weeded several times until harvest, and irrigated with river and spring water from the Dolomites.
This limited Senga Sengana strawberry spread in a 220g jar has a fruit content of 75%, gelled only with natural apple pectin.

Stefan Gruber – Goals for the Future
Stefan Gruber continuously invests in more energy-efficient production. In 2010, he built a state-of-the-art production building, an alpine-designed sales and tasting room, and a new office wing for this purpose. The processing of the fruits is an innovative process, yet as much as possible is done by hand. By optimizing production processes, resources can be conserved and energy saved, and waste has also been reduced. As a father, he feels a responsibility towards the next generation to handle water, energy, air, and soil resources carefully. Stefan Gruber loves the region where he grew up and now lives with his family. "We want to produce green and become an ECO-Manufactory," he tells us.
