LOVITA PLUMS
Origin: South Africa
Season: March - April
Premium Late-Season Variety
Lovita plums are a distinguished late-season variety from South Africa, with medium to large fruit featuring vibrant red and green skin and deep red flesh. These exceptional plums offer a perfectly balanced flavour profile with an initial sweet burst followed by refreshing acidity, whilst maintaining a firm yet succulent texture even when fully ripe.
Lovita plums combine superior flavour with excellent disease resistance and remarkable resistance to cracking. They thrive in South Africa's Mediterranean-style climate and consistently deliver exceptional eating quality throughout their growing season.
These versatile plums excel in both sweet and savoury applications. Their balanced sweetness makes them ideal for tarts, compotes, and preserves, whilst their firm texture ensures they hold their shape beautifully during cooking. In savoury dishes, they complement game meats superbly and pair excellently with robust cheeses for sophisticated presentations.
Ripening: Upon delivery, remove plums from packaging and ripen at room temperature for several days. They're ready when they yield slightly to gentle pressure and release a sweet aroma. Once ripe, refrigerate for up to five additional days to maintain optimal eating quality.
