Tamarillo, Each

Fresh Tamarillo Fruit is a whole fresh tamarillo – the tree tomato from South America, with a smooth, deep red-purple skin and a jewel-like interior of sweet-tart pulp and seeds. Tamarillo has a complex flavour that combines tomato, passion fruit and a distinctive sharp, slightly tannic quality. As a result, it suits both sweet and savoury preparations in a way that few other fruits can. Furthermore, the skin is bitter and always to be removed before eating, leaving the extraordinary coloured flesh and pulp inside. In particular, tamarillo is a staple of New Zealand cooking and appears in breakfast preparations, chutneys and desserts.

About Fresh Tamarillo Fruit

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 Tamarillo Fruit from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Fresh Tamarillo Fruit 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 Tamarillo Fruit

To get the very best from Fresh Tamarillo Fruit:

• Blanch for 30 seconds in boiling water to loosen the skin, then peel – the skin is bitter and always to be removed.
• Halve and eat the flesh with a spoon, adding a little sugar if the acidity is too sharp.
• Furthermore, fresh tamarillo makes an outstanding chutney with ginger, chilli and vinegar alongside cold meats.
• Additionally, simmer with sugar for a compote to serve on yoghurt, porridge or as a dessert sauce.

Perfect Pairings

Fresh Tamarillo Fruit pairs beautifully with:

• Good yoghurt, cream or a mild fresh cheese to balance the sharp acidity
• Ginger, chilli and vinegar for a chutney alongside cold meats or cheese
• A glass of Riesling, Gewurztraminer or a light sparkling wine alongside
• Passion fruit, mango or tropical fruits to balance the sharp character

Storage: Store at room temperature until fully ripe. Once ripe, use immediately or refrigerate for one to two days. Furthermore, tropical fruit is best enjoyed at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge. However, some varieties, such as mangosteen and rambutan, are best used within a day or two of delivery for peak quality. Delivered at the right stage and ready to enjoy.

However you enjoy it, Fresh Tamarillo Fruit 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.
