Plums
Deep purple, near-black and ruby-red — firm, dense plums with a rich, complex flavour.
We manage the crop load on every tree in our plum orchards, which gives fruit with dense flesh and a natural protective bloom. To choose the moment of harvest, we monitor firmness, sugar content (Brix) and ground colour, picking each variety when a firm first bite gives way to remarkably juicy flesh.
Graded for uniform size and colour, the plums go into controlled cold storage straight after harvest. There they keep their firmness and excellent condition for a long time, so we supply plums of consistent quality until December — months after the harvest ends.

Good to know
Antioxidants and vitamin K
Plums are rich in phenolic compounds, natural antioxidants that help counter oxidative stress. They also contain vitamin K and potassium.
Ripe and juicy
A ripe plum is at its best fresh: a lightly tart skin gives way to sweet, juicy flesh. The silvery bloom on the skin is natural and protects the fruit, so rinse plums just before eating.
Perfect pairings
Plums pair naturally with aged hard cheeses and are lovely roasted with thyme and honey. Slow-cooked, they turn into tangy, deeply flavoured sauces for duck and pork.
