Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.We source Vanilla Persimmons from Campania, where they grow without the use of chemical sprays or fertilisers. Picked ripe, they will mature further off the tree but remain firm-fleshed and retain a mild astringency. Persimmons require a drop in temperature to undergo a process similar to bletting, converting their bitter tannins to sugars to reach full maturity. This natural bletting process can result in small brown marks on the skin. These, together with golden-brown flesh, are signs of perfect ripeness.
