We decided to use these shoots differently and make \u003cstrong\u003ejelly\u003c\/strong\u003e from them. In collaboration with the \u003cstrong\u003eforests of the city of Brno\u003c\/strong\u003e, we assisted with the \u003cstrong\u003epruning of trees\u003c\/strong\u003e in the Moravian Karst, where we encountered not only spruces but also \u003cstrong\u003eDouglas firs\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their shoots have a \u003cstrong\u003edistinctive aroma reminiscent of lime\u003c\/strong\u003e, which, combined with spruce, created a \u003cstrong\u003eunique taste experience\u003c\/strong\u003e that sets our product apart.
