There are so many thing we loved when sampling Tutus products and below are just a few of our favorites.
LILIKOI JELLY- Lilikoi (Passion Fruit) can be found all over the island and Tutus does a really nice job of showcasing it's flavor with their Lilikoi Jelly. This tropical treat is great on bagels or toast for breakfast and is also a great gift to take home for loved ones.
GUAVA BUTTER- Made with Maui Guava juice, Maui sugar, and real butter this spread will take your toast to a whole new level. You may even find yourself eating it right out of the jar with a spoon... it's that good.
PINEAPPLE BBQ SAUCE- Packs a punch with well-balanced flavor and will elevate your next BBQ dinner.
PAPAYA VINAIGRETTE DRESSING - After trying this dressing youll want to drizzle it on every salad you ever have. The perfect combination of sweet, contrasted with the vinegar in this dressing is sure to please everyone.
