Natoora Italian Vanilla Persimmons

FLAVOUR IS A FRONTIER

Natoora Italian Vanilla Persimmon

- 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 dark markings on the skin and in the flesh – far from signs of spoilage, these signal perfect ripeness and are intrinsic to the vanilla variety.

Take it further

- Slice thinly, toss with bitter leaves and ricotta.

- Cut into wedges, roast with honey.

Our packaging is plastic-free

- We have developed our own revolutionary packaging which is entirely plastic-free and home disposable. Each of our recyclable cardboard punnets is flow-wrapped with home-compostable film which, unlike traditional plastic flow-wrap, disintegrates within 180 days. Dispose of the black punnet in your normal recycling and the clear film in your food waste bin.

- Each punnet bears the ‘Plastic Free’ mark of A Plastic Planet, a grassroots movement which aims to turn off the plastic tap.

Natoora's radical approach to seasonal sourcing is shaping the future of food

- We are revolutionising the food system.

- We work direct with growers who value flavour, biodiversity and heritage over yield.

- We give them the support they need to build a better future for food, rooted in small scale, sustainable agriculture that gives back to our planet.
