These small golden drops (as the name translates) are incredibly sweet, refreshing and juicy, with a tart edge towards the center of the fruit.  For the softness of the flesh they are best enjoyed as they are or used in jams, chutneys and cakes.

Region: Plums are said to originate in Asia, and the Goccia d’oro is also known as “Shiro” plum in Asia. We get ours from the Milan market, where plums are abundant in the summer.

Quality: July is the peak of the season for this variety of plum. Later in the summer we will get some amazing Reine Claude and Mirabelle plums from France, but for the moment the ones from Italy are the best on the market.

Cost: We always let you know the price per kg so you can easily compare our prices. You will struggle to find this variety for sale anywhere else!
