The simple and straightforward way of describing their fruit spread—handmade, all natural, all fruit, low sugar, and no artificial preservatives. The more detailed way of describing their fruit spread is that it is made by gently cooking in fruits’ natural juices to preserve its sweet aroma and texture, resulting in a spread that is full of fruit flavour and fresh in taste. The spreads are made in small batches and no water is added during the cooking process so it’s not diluted.

Straits Heritage Foods is founded by a Nyonya girl in Malaysia whose ultimate passion lies in food. While enjoying her newfound freedom after departing from a long corporate career, she found that her happiest times were when a good group of friends would drive to every nook and corner just to get a taste of what Klang Valley has to offer. Ultimately though, nothing beats the familiar, comforting scent of simmering spices in her mother’s wok, wafting from the kitchen of her parents’ house.
