Costco started carrying this Vonbee Passion Fruit Honey Puree recently and I am so excited to be reviewing it here today!

I absolutely love passion fruit, I fell in love with it a few years ago when we went to Hawaii for our honeymoon. While in Maui and stopped at a place for breakfast, they offered yogurt with granola and “lilikoi puree” (lilikoi is another name for passion fruit) and it was the absolute best tasting yogurt bowl I’ve ever had!

See a YouTube video review for the Vonbee Honey, Apple & Cinnamon Tea Base here and a written review here. Costco also has a Vonbee Honey, Citron & Ginger Tea Base that’s extremely popular!

Location in Store

You can find the passion fruit honey puree at Costco in the aisle with the jams and syrup. The item number is 1497484.

Taste

I’m truly in love with this Vonbee puree. It brings me right back to the time I was in Hawaii. You can really taste the exotic, tropical flavor of the passion fruit! The passion fruit is real-deal authentic tasting and not at all artificial.

If you’ve never tried passion fruit the flavor is sweet with a hint of citrusy tartness. It’s a very unique and distinct flavor.

The honey in this adds a little sweetness to the passion fruit and also cuts the tartness that you usually taste when eating passion fruit. I wouldn’t say this is too sweet and it’s extremely flavorful, a little goes a long way. I’ve decided my favorite way to enjoy this is to add it to plain yogurt.

There’s seeds in the puree which my husband didn’t love but I actually liked the additional crunchy bites. It’s also a sign that there is real passion fruit preserves in the puree!

Cost

I paid $9.99 Canadian for the 1.2 kg jar of passion fruit honey puree which is really reasonable considering the size and how delicious this is.

Convenience

On my bottle of puree the best before date is about 22 months from the date I purchased it. The bottle states the puree should be refrigerated after opening.

It’s suggested to use this as a beverage base, jam or salad dressing. This tastes amazing with plain yogurt and a bit of granola.

As a tea and it was delicious and I would also happily use it on vanilla ice cream or drizzled on top of a piece of plain cheesecake! I think you could also use it to make some interesting marinades and sauces, a tropical pork might be good!

  1. Found in Costco Aberdeen, Scotland. Love it. Drank as tea – I’d see some drain off seeds but don’t they are good source of fibre. I’m going to try on natural yogurt next. As it’s out of stock in so many places I’m going to get a back up bottle.

  2. I saw this the other day and am kicking myself for not buying it. I’m going back!!

    It’s funny that I’m reading it is discontinued in many places but here is Halifax, Nova Scotia it just arrived for the first time as far as I know! I’ve never seen it before..
    I was looking in that same aisle for something a couple weeks ago and definitely would have noticed it. Heading back ……

  3. I love this product. I simply mixed 1/4 cup of this mixture, 8oz of sparkling water, shake it well, drain to remove seeds, pour over ice. It’s refreshing.

    When I want back to get more, it discontinued. According to Costco store located in Homestead, PA, this product is not coming back.

    • So you are shaking sparkling water? Didn’t that remove most of the carbonation?
      Other than that, I bought it today in Michigan, it may be back in your location
