Researchers from the Estonian University of Life Sciences have successfully developed a new type of marmalade made from black currants, which is now available for purchase in several cities across Estonia.
In February, production trials for a new type of marmalade made from black currants were completed at the Polli Horticultural Research Centre of the Estonian University of Life Sciences. This new marmalade is touted as a new generation product that reflects the ongoing innovation in food sciences in Estonia. The trials were part of an effort to create a unique and high-quality food product that can meet the demands of consumers for tasty yet healthy options.
The new black currant marmalade is now available for purchase in various locations, including Tallinn, Tartu, Viljandi, Abja-Paluoja, and Karksi-Nuia. The positive reception of this product by consumers indicates a successful market introduction and a potential trend towards innovative fruit preserves in Estonia's culinary landscape. This could inspire further developments in the local agri-food sectors.
This initiative not only showcases the capabilities of local researchers but also highlights the importance of leveraging local agricultural products to create innovative food items. The success of this marmalade could pave the way for more collaborative projects between universities and the food industry in Estonia, aimed at enhancing product offerings and ensuring sustainability in food production.
