There’s a lot to love about Persimmons, especially in their peak fall season when they bring a burst of honey-sweet flavor and vibrant color to autumn dishes. This unique fruit has been cultivated for centuries, rich in cultural tradition and value. Let’s explore more of what makes this seasonal favorite so special!
Persimmons have been cultivated for centuries, originating in East Asia where they hold deep cultural significance and have long been celebrated for their unique flavor. Today, our Spanish Rojo Brillante variety brings a unique twist to this ancient fruit.
Harvested at their sweetest from November until February, Rojo Brillante persimmons arrive with the peak of fall, making them a seasonal delight that perfectly captures the essence of autumn and adds delicious flavor to holiday dishes.
Unlike most Japanese varieties, Rojo Brillante persimmons are grown in the Ribera del Xuquer region of Valencia. They benefit from the ideal Mediterranean climate, producing a honey-sweet flavor and red-orange, vibrant color.
Rojo Brillante persimmons combine the well-known shape of the Hachiya variety and crisp texture of the Fuyu, providing a truly unique flavor profile and overall eating experience!
From savory appetizers to sweet salads, persimmons shine in a variety of dishes. Their sweetness and firm texture are perfect for bruschetta with creamy burrata or in a hearty kale and quinoa salad with fresh citrus. Enjoy this versatile fruit all season long in some of our favorite recipes!
