Curious about the sweet world of Kesaku's fruit pastila? We've gathered the most common questions our customers ask about our delightful treats, production process, and more.
Fruit pastila is a unique confection that dances between a sweet and a healthy snack. Unlike conventional candy loaded with artificial ingredients, our pastila is crafted from 100% natural fruit and berry purees, slowly dehydrated to preserve nutrients and concentrate flavors. Think of it as nature's candy—where the fruit's essence is transformed into delightful, chewy strips that capture all the goodness without added refined sugars, preservatives, or artificial colors. It's where indulgence meets nutrition in perfect harmony.
Absolutely none! We believe in letting fruits speak for themselves. Our pastila contains only the natural sugars present in the fruits and berries we use. We don't add refined sugars, preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors. The vibrant tastes and hues you experience come straight from nature's palette. Our meticulous dehydration process naturally extends shelf life without chemical interference, allowing you to enjoy pure fruit essence with every bite.
Our pastila journey begins with selecting premium seasonal fruits and berries at their peak ripeness. After thorough washing, we gently cook them to soften their structure without destroying vital nutrients. The mixture is then pureed to silky smoothness and carefully spread onto special sheets. What follows is the heart of our craft—a slow, low-temperature dehydration process that can take up to 10 hours. This patience is rewarded with perfectly textured sheets of pastila that we cut into convenient portions. Each step is performed with meticulous attention to preserve the character of each fruit variety, resulting in a symphony of natural flavors that's both authentic and intensely satisfying.
Kesaku pastila is a haven for many with dietary restrictions! Our products are naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and contain no added sugars. They're perfect for those following plant-based diets or watching their refined sugar intake. Since we use only fruits and berries, our pastila is free from common allergens found in many conventional treats. However, individuals with specific fruit allergies should check our ingredient lists carefully. We're transparent about exactly which fruits are in each variety, making it easier for you to enjoy our pastila with confidence, regardless of your dietary needs.
Our pastila is nature's well-kept secret—it remains delicious for up to 6 months when stored properly! To maintain optimal freshness, keep your pastila in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, we recommend storing it in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption, which could affect its delightful chewy texture. Unlike many perishable treats, Kesaku pastila doesn't require refrigeration, making it perfect for on-the-go snacking, travel companions, or emergency sweet cravings. The natural dehydration process preserves the fruit's essence while extending shelf life without artificial preservation methods.
Children don't just can eat Kesaku pastila—they should! It's the perfect trojan horse of nutrition disguised as a treat. Unlike conventional candy that bombards developing bodies with refined sugars, artificial colors, and questionable additives, our pastila offers real fruit nutrition in a fun, chewy format kids love. Parents appreciate that each strip contains natural vitamins, minerals, and fiber from whole fruits. The vibrant colors come from berries and fruits, not synthetic dyes. It's an excellent way to satisfy sweet cravings while subtly introducing more fruit into children's diets. Many parents tell us that Kesaku pastila has become their secret weapon for healthier lunchboxes and guilt-free treats!

Welcome to Kesaku, where fruit clouds meet artisanal passion. We're not just making pastila – we're crafting edible stories that dance on your taste buds and whisper tales of orchards in full bloom.
Born from a simple kitchen experiment that blossomed into a symphony of flavors, Kesaku has transformed the ancient art of pastila-making into a modern celebration of nature's candy. Each delicate slice carries the essence of carefully selected fruits, harvested at the peak of ripeness.
To transform nature's bounty into delightful moments of pure joy, creating pastila that honors traditional methods while embracing innovative techniques. We believe that the most exquisite pleasures should be both simple and extraordinary.
Our story began with a surplus of summer berries and an old family recipe book. What started as a way to preserve nature's gifts quickly evolved into an obsession with perfecting the delicate balance of texture and flavor that defines exceptional pastila.
As word spread about our fruit confections, we outgrew that first tiny kitchen. We formed partnerships with local farmers committed to sustainable growing practices, ensuring our pastila would always capture the authentic essence of each fruit variety.
While honoring centuries-old techniques, we've introduced modern innovations to enhance the natural flavors without compromising purity. Our signature slow-drying process preserves vital nutrients while creating that distinctive melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Today, Kesaku pastila delights customers who appreciate that true luxury lies in simplicity. Each batch still receives the same attention to detail as those first experimental trays, with our master confectioners nurturing every step of the transformation from fruit to cloud-like confection.
Every piece of our pastila embodies the philosophy that nature provides all the sweetness we need. We capture fruit at its perfect moment, transforming its essence into ethereal layers that preserve not just flavor, but the very soul of each harvest.
Our production facility blends artisanal care with pristine conditions, where traditional wooden drying racks stand alongside state-of-the-art temperature control systems. This marriage of old and new allows us to maintain consistency while honoring the handcrafted nature of authentic pastila.
