Ingredient

brown

brown ripens in its season and contributes to a varied and balanced diet. Italian cuisine uses it in desserts, jams, preserves, ice cream, syrups and savoury pairings such as cheese and cured meats. Each Italian region has its local varieties, often protected by appellation, making it a valuable agricultural and gastronomic asset.

Use in cooking

In the kitchen it's used fresh, in fruit salads, blended, in jams and preserves, in traditional desserts (tarts, cakes, ice creams) and in some savoury accompaniments.

Preservation

Store in the fridge or in a cool dry place depending on the type of fruit; consume at peak ripeness for best flavour.

Curiosity

brown plays an important role in Italian cuisine, both in sweet recipes and in savoury pairings that highlight the quality of the raw ingredient.
