LOVITA PLUMS 475g±
Lovita Plums 500g±
Lovita plums are a distinguished late-season variety characterized by their medium to large size, vibrant red and green skin with natural bloom, and deep red flesh. Their exceptional eating quality stems from a perfectly balanced flavor profile—offering an initial sweet burst followed by refreshing acidity—while their firm yet succulent texture holds well even when fully ripe, making them versatile for both fresh consumption and culinary applications.
Developed through careful breeding to combine disease resistance with superior flavor, Lovita plums thrive in Mediterranean-like conditions and exhibit remarkable resistance to cracking. When perfectly ripe, they yield slightly to gentle pressure and release a sweet fragrance, excelling in both sweet preparations like elegant tarts and compotes, as well as savory dishes where they beautifully complement game meats and robust cheeses.
Ripening Information: To ensure these exceptional fruits reach you in perfect condition, we harvest them just before they reach full ripeness. Upon delivery, please remove them from packaging and allow to ripen at room temperature for a few days. The fruit is ready to enjoy when it yields slightly to gentle pressure and releases a sweet aroma. Once ripe, refrigerate to extend their perfect eating window for up to five additional days.
