Forest Berries Fortefrutto is a concentrated berry flavoring paste from PreGel of Italy, made with 30% wild berries for use in gelato, sorbet, and pastry. Bilberries, raspberries, and blackcurrants give it a deep, jammy sweetness edged with the tartness of dark fruit.

The paste is thick and dark red, with a bright, tart-leaning fruit flavor that holds up against a sweetened base rather than washing out. It works as the lead flavor in a berry gelato or sorbet, as a ripple or variegate, and as a flavoring for mousses, fillings, and fruit forward pastry. At a lighter dose it also lifts and rounds out the fruit in a fresh berry gelato.
