Key features

• Size/quantity: Typically sold in a small to medium jar (usually around 200–250g), ideal for occasional use or gifting.
• Variants: Usually available in a single flavor (fir-infused), though similar products may vary in fruit base (e.g., apple, berry, or mixed).
• Ingredients: Primarily fruit purée, fir resin or extract, sugar, and sometimes citrus zest or spices for depth. The fir resin gives it a subtle, aromatic pine note.
• Uses: Spread on toast, pancakes, or yogurt; paired with cheese (especially soft or blue varieties); or used as a glaze for meats. The bold flavor also works well in desserts like tarts or ice cream.
