Marco Polo Blueberry Syrup 1L (33.8fl oz)

Marco Polo Blueberry Syrup is a blueberry (borovnica) fruit concentrate from the Marco Polo brand in the 1L bottle — the sweet-tart flavor of the European wild blueberry that has been part of the summer harvest tradition of the Balkan, Alpine, and Central European mountain forests for centuries. Marco Polo is a specialty food brand supplying the diaspora pantry with Balkan and Central European essentials, and the blueberry syrup joins the sour cherry and other fruit concentrates as part of the suite of dilutable drinks that formed the summer-table beverage culture of the Yugoslav and Slavic household. The borovnica has deep roots in the mountain-foraging tradition of Bosnia, Slovenia, and Serbia — the berry picked from highland meadows in late summer and preserved as jam, syrup, and liqueur — and the Marco Polo syrup delivers that flavor year-round in the practical concentrate format. Mix one part syrup with 4–5 parts cold sparkling water, pour over ice for the summer drink, drizzle over vanilla ice cream or pancakes, or stir into plain yogurt for a quick blueberry-flavored breakfast bowl.
