Blackcurrant
Association profiles
Blackcurrants are small black fruits that have won over lovers of intense flavours and original combinations. Grown mainly in France, but also in Russia and Eastern Europe, they are particularly appreciated for their rich aroma and deep colour. As a result, they are a key ingredient in baking and mixology. Today, we will explore the characteristics of our frozen blackcurrant purée, its varieties, and the perfect flavour combinations to maximise its aromas.
Our purée and its characteristics
Our frozen blackcurrant purée with no added sugar* stands out for its exceptional quality, capturing all the richness of the fruit. It is made from the best varieties grown in France, ensuring a final product that is both delicious and authentic.
Sensory profile of frozen blackcurrant purée
The frozen blackcurrant purée has an intense, dark colour reminiscent of ripe fruit. Its thick, grainy texture provides a mouthfeel that adds consistency while retaining the freshness of the blackcurrant.
The taste is particularly complex: the blend of two iconic varieties brings subtle and distinct notes. The floral and tannic notes come from the Andega variety, while the bud notes are provided by the Noir de Bourgogne. This blend results in a blackcurrant purée with a rich and balanced aromatic palette, ideal for high-end culinary applications.
