GOLDEN NECTARINES

Origin: Seville, Spain

Season: June - August

These exquisite golden nectarines are cultivated in the sun-drenched orchards surrounding Seville, where the Mediterranean climate and fertile Andalusian soil create perfect conditions for exceptional stone fruit. These heritage varieties represent centuries of Spanish fruit-growing tradition, offering a sublime sweetness and aromatic intensity that commercial nectarines simply cannot match.

Gloriously sweet with a perfect balance of natural sugars and gentle acidity, these golden nectarines deliver an authentic taste of Andalusian sunshine. Their beautiful golden-yellow skin with its characteristic smooth finish, often blushed with coral tones, and succulent, honey-coloured flesh make them as visually stunning as they are delicious—a testament to the expertise of Seville's traditional fruit growers.

Seville's golden nectarines are renowned for their exceptional flavour intensity and aromatic qualities. The region's warm days and cool nights allow the fruit to develop concentrated sweetness whilst maintaining a refreshing balance. Their tender, juicy flesh releases an intoxicating fragrance when perfectly ripe, with complex notes that range from floral honey to subtle almond undertones from the stone. Unlike their fuzzy peach cousins, these nectarines offer a smooth, velvet-like skin that adds to their elegant eating experience.

Serve these nectarines simply at room temperature to appreciate their full aromatic potential, or create an elegant dessert with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of local honey. They're sublime in traditional Spanish preparations, or paired with Manchego cheese and Marcona almonds for a sophisticated finish to a meal. For a warming option, poach them gently in white wine with cinnamon and orange zest, or incorporate them into a rustic tarte tatin that celebrates their natural sweetness. Their firm yet tender flesh also makes them perfect for grilling or roasting to concentrate their flavours.

Producer: Grown by family orchards that have been cultivating stone fruit in the Seville region for generations. These producers employ traditional methods including careful hand-picking at peak ripeness, natural ripening processes, and sustainable farming practices that respect the land and ensure fruit of exceptional quality and authentic Spanish character.
