Sapote, Chicozapote, Nispero, Sicte or Mamey ... the fruit with many names

Origin

Our sapodilla fruits are carefully sourced from the tropical regions of South America. In these fertile areas, the Manilkara zapota thrives in the perfect climate, providing us with the best quality of this exotic delicacy.

Usage

The sapodilla fruit is a true taste sensation and enjoys great popularity worldwide. It has an oval or round shape and is surrounded by a rough, brown skin. But its true highlight is hidden inside. The juicy, caramel-like pulp delights with an unmistakable aroma, which is a delicious combination of pear, brown sugar syrup and vanilla.

There are many ways to enjoy sapodilla. The simplest way is to eat it fresh, by removing the skin and either slicing or spooning out the pulp. The fruit is perfect as a delicious snack for young and old.

In addition, you can integrate sapodilla into delicious desserts by processing it into a puree and stirring it into ice cream, pudding or yoghurt. Sapodilla is also an enrichment as an ingredient in exotic fruit salads or fruit cocktails. The versatile fruit can also be processed into juice, syrup or jam, which enriches your culinary creations with unique nuances of flavour.

Storage

To preserve the freshness and quality of our sapodilla fruits, we recommend storing them at room temperature until they are fully ripe. Once the fruits are ripe, you can store them in the refrigerator to extend their shelf life. Unripe fruits can ripen at room temperature.
