Slice up these golden fruits. Thin skinned. But rich and delicious once ripe.

What makes my special?

- The perfect dessert fruit, persimmons are rich and delicious, with a satiny texture
- These golden fruits aren’t artificially ‘purged’ like the supermarket varieties. So you might find them more acidic than conventional persimmons
- We pack these stunning fruits underripe, to make sure they travel well. So make sure you let them ripen before you take a bite. They’re at their best when really soft and almost jelly-like – so let them sit until they’re ready
- Country of Origin – Spain
- Class – Minimum Class 2

Producer

These sweet persimmon are grown by an organic co-operative in an area of Valencia, Spain. Known for their soft, honeyed fruits, with an 'Indicación Geográfica Protegida' which is the equivalent to our 'Protected Geographical Indication' (PGI).

The co-op, called Cofrudeca, was established over 20 years ago and aim to “conserve Earth's fertility by using natural resources, without the chemical products of synthesis.” Their goal is to produce highly nutritious and delicious foods.

Ingredients & allergens

Abel & Cole handles celery, celeriac, peanuts and nuts on site. Due to our packing process and re-use of boxes there is a risk of cross-contamination from these, and all other allergens.

While we do everything we can to ensure the information on this page is correct, ingredients, nutritional and dietary information are subject to change. So along with the information on our website, we always recommend that you read each label carefully before enjoying your items

Storage & prep

The shiny, tomato-shaped fruit have a sweet apricot taste. Wait until they're very ripe otherwise you may find them too astringent – wash and bite into like an apple, or slice the top off and scoop out the flesh. The fruit also makes a delicious addition to stews, cakes, creamy puddings and it can even be made into jam. Don’t forget to wash your fruit and veg before use.
