Physalis tub ±100g
502160
The physalis, also known as the ‘love-in-a-cage' due to its papery calyx that protects the fruit, is a must-have for cake decoration and buffet presentation. Selected by Le Delas, this small orange fruit offers a tangy, sweet and slightly vanilla-like flavour. Its natural presentation in its openwork husk instantly adds a touch of exoticism and volume to the most refined culinary creations.
Professional uses, preparation and storage:
► Decoration and finishing: It is the key visual element for petits fours, desserts and cocktails. By gently folding the sepals upwards, the glossy fruit is revealed for maximum aesthetic effect.
► Pastry and Confectionery: The fruit can be enjoyed fresh, but it also lends itself to being dipped in fondant sugar or couverture chocolate to create high-end treats.
► Culinary pairings: Its hint of acidity makes it an ideal companion to balance the richness of pan-fried foie gras or to add depth to a tropical fruit salad.
► Storage: Store the trays in a positive-temperature cold room, away from moisture to prevent the calyx from softening or spoiling. It is best to remove the protective wrapping only just before serving.
