Yuzu - Natural Concentrated Paste 1,5kg - Sosa

Sosa Natural Concentrated Yuzu Paste — the Japanese citrus in all its singularity

Yuzu (Citrus junos) is an exceptional Japanese citrus fruit with floral, slightly tangy notes and an incomparable aromatic complexity — somewhere between lemon, mandarin and grapefruit, with a unique floral touch. Sosa's Natural Concentrated Yuzu Paste captures this singularity through 30% yuzu juice and yuzu essential oil — a dual aromatic source for remarkable intensity and authenticity. 100% natural origin ingredients, available year-round regardless of seasonality.

Production

Yuzu juice (30%) is combined with a fruit extract (carob, apple) for texture, citric acid for flavour balance, and yuzu essential oil to intensify the floral and citrus aromatic profile. The characteristic golden yellow colour is achieved through turmeric extract, curcumin (E100) and caramelised sugar — three plant-based colourants. Amidated pectin (E440ii) and carrageenan (E407) ensure the paste's smooth consistency and homogeneity.
