Polaner Fruit & Maple pairs the fresh taste of fruit with the delicate sweetness of pure maple syrup and each variety contains four ingredients or less (except for Peach, which has five ingredients),

the first two of which are fruit and pure maple syrup. Polaner Fruit & Maple has no high

fructose corn syrup, no artificial flavors and no artificial colors. This premium line of fruit and

maple spreads is also gluten free and kosher. It is available in eight ounce jars at a suggested

retail price of $3.99.

This innovative new product converges on two major food trends generating consumer

demand. First, Polaner Fruit & Maple uses golden delicate pure maple syrup as an alternative to cane sugar and artificial sweeteners, and is on trend with the alternative sweetener movement that has grown 200 percent in the past four years. Second, there is a significant growth trend in pure maple syrup consumption not only due to flavor preference, but also for its budding use in recipes both at home and in restaurants. By using maple syrup as a sweetener, Polaner Fruit & Maple imparts a subtle, more balanced and gentler flavor than if sweetened with traditional cane sugar.

Polaner Fruit & Maple is versatile as it perfectly complements recipes for appetizers, protein‐based main dishes, side dishes, baking and cocktails in addition to its traditional usage at breakfast. Polaner Fruit & Maple premium fruit spread is currently available in stores across the Northeast and will be available soon in the Central Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
