From their west London offices Christopher and his staff travel around the world in search of high quality products that meet Clearspring's exacting standards. Each product is carefully evaluated for purity of ingredients and ecologically sound manufacturing practices. Clearspring looks for products that are GMO free and made with whole organic ingredients. Refined organic ingredients such as organic sugar are not acceptable; Clearspring believes that refining organic foods depletes them of their intrinsic value. Clearspring foods must also be made by traditional methods using time-tested recipes. Indeed, some of the foods Clearspring labels are made using methods and recipes dating back 200 to 500 years or more. In addition to its large selection of traditional Japanese foods, Clearspring is currently expanding its line of traditional European foods. These include an extensive range of organic cold pressed oils, sugar-free organic fruit spreads, organic grains, seeds and almonds.
