Plums, 1kg

Fresh Plums 1kg are 1kg of fresh plums – ripe, flavourful and ready to eat or cook. A good plum at its seasonal peak is one of the finest summer fruits. As a result, selecting plums at the right ripeness makes all the difference – they should yield slightly to gentle pressure and smell fragrant. Furthermore, plums suit an exceptional range of preparations, from simple eating to jam, tarts, sauces and crumbles. In particular, cooking concentrates the natural sweetness and develops a rich, complex flavour that raw plums only hint at.

About Fresh Plums 1kg

We source our fruit from specialist growers and importers across Britain, Europe and beyond. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, ripeness and provenance. As a result, the fruit we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise varieties with genuine character over commodity produce bred purely for shelf life and appearance. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or resilience in transit. However, they require more careful handling and a shorter supply chain. In particular, the finest fruit is always seasonal – it arrives at its peak and disappears just as quickly. Additionally, we work only with suppliers who understand this. A short supply chain from orchard or grove to your door makes all the difference. That is why Fresh Plums 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Plums 1kg From Us

Cooking and eating with genuinely fine fruit transforms everyday preparations. In contrast to commodity fruit, these varieties carry flavour, aroma and character that rewards both simple eating and careful cooking. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, quality fruit always speaks for itself. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you receive fruit at its prime. However, even the finest fruit needs a little attention. In particular, most fruit is best stored at room temperature until ripe, then refrigerated only once it reaches the right stage. Moreover, cold storage suppresses both aroma and flavour. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you buy matters. That is why we choose these fruits so carefully.

How to Use Fresh Plums 1kg

To get the very best from Fresh Plums 1kg:

• Eat fresh when ripe – press gently near the stalk to check: it should yield slightly when ready.
• Halve, stone and roast at 180 degrees with a little butter and sugar for 20 minutes for a simple dessert.
• Furthermore, fresh plums make an outstanding crumble, tart or clafoutis when combined with almond cream.
• Additionally, simmer with sugar, orange zest and a cinnamon stick for a versatile compote or sauce for meats.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Plums 1kg pairs beautifully with:

• Good vanilla custard, creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream
• Almond cream, frangipane or a butter pastry case in a tart
• A glass of Sauternes, late-harvest Riesling or a fruity Beaujolais alongside
• Duck, pork or venison – plum sauce alongside rich game or meat is outstanding

Storage: Store at room temperature until fully ripe. Once ripe, refrigerate and use within a few days. However, cold storage suppresses aroma and flavour – always return to room temperature before eating. Furthermore, most fruit is best used as soon as possible after delivery for the finest flavour. Delivered at the right stage of ripeness and ready to enjoy.

However you enjoy it, Fresh Plums 1kg brings a depth of flavour and quality that commodity produce simply cannot match. Moreover, the finest seasonal fruit is one of the great pleasures of the table.
