Perfect Puree of Napa Valley offers frozen fruit purees in dozens of flavors to help chefs and food processors create fabulous dishes from numerous national and regional cuisines, including:

• Classic European
  
• Mediterranean
  
• Middle Eastern
  
• Regional American
  
• Tropical
  
• Pacific Rim/International Asian
  
• American Southwest

The product line boasts a wide range of flavors, including White Peach, Kiwi and Pink Guava. Among the most popular are four of the firm's eight original flavors: Red Raspberry, All Apricot, More Mango and Roasted Sweet Red Pepper.

While purees made from scratch can be inconsistent, time-consuming and expensive, chefs have praised Perfect Puree products for their "great, true flavors, good consistent thickness and texture."¹ Perfect Puree founder Tracy Hayward achieves her consistently high standards, by cultivating relationships with reliable fruit and vegetable suppliers and establishing tight processing specifications for sweetness/sugar content (Brix), viscosity (fruit pectin) and acid ratio (pH).
