Extracted from various fruit varieties such as grapes, apples, dates, and carob, these fruit sugars offer an interesting nutritional profile and versatile applications, making them ideal for a wide range of products.

Grape sugar, primarily composed of fructose and glucose, has a sweet, fruity flavor, perfect for juices, sweets, and baby food. Apple sugar, derived from the fruit’s pulp, provides a delicate, natural sweetness. Date sugar, extracted from a fruit rich in fiber and minerals, is one of the most nutrient-dense alternatives to refined sugars. Finally, carob sugar, known for its low glycemic index and caffeine-free nature, is an excellent choice for those seeking a natural, gluten-free sweetener.

At Bagnarese Spa, our extraction and separation process ensures that these natural sugars retain their organoleptic properties. With careful selection of raw materials and advanced technologies, we guarantee a high-quality product suitable for beverages, sweets, baked goods, jams, and much more.
