PINEAPPLE PUREE

FLAVOUR ORIGINS

The pineapple is a tropical plant native to South America, with individual flowers that fuse together to form a “multiple fruit” - a collection of fruits that merge into a single mass as they mature. Although enjoyed by cultures indigenous to the region for centuries, the pineapple was first introduced to Europe in the 17th century and quickly became a symbol of wealth and opulence.

The flesh and juice of the pineapple are enjoyed in cuisines around the world. In many tropical countries it is sold as a roadside snack, while in the west it is common addition to desserts, fruit salads, yoghurts and confectionary, as well as in some savoury dishes such as pizza and hamburgers.

The Mathieu Teisseire Pineapple purée is succulent and juicy yet maintains the fruit's perfectly balanced flavour. The thick and tender purée is perfect in desserts, cocktails and cakes.
