Organic Sicilian firm persimmons are autumn fruits prized for their firm flesh, naturally sweet flavour and pleasant crunch. Grown in Sicily according to organic farming principles, they offer an alternative to traditional soft persimmons, ideal for anyone who enjoys biting into fresh fruit.

Despite the Italian name cachi mela, literally “apple persimmons”, these fruits are not a cross between a persimmon and an apple. They are a type of persimmon that can be eaten while the flesh is still firm, without waiting for the complete softening typical of many traditional persimmons.

The skin ranges from yellow-orange to deep orange, while the flesh has a firm, pleasant and juicy texture.

Firm persimmons are particularly versatile in the kitchen. Enjoy them fresh, cut into wedges or slices, or use them in fruit salads, autumn salads, desserts and homemade cakes.

The skin is edible and can be eaten after thorough washing.

Sicilian firm persimmons are typically autumn fruits, generally available from October, depending on the weather and the ripening of the fruit.
