Pineapple plane ⚖

The "air-freighted" pineapple is selected by Le Delas to guarantee professionals optimal ripeness and superior flavour. Unlike sea freight, air transport allows the fruit to be harvested at an advanced stage of ripeness, directly from the plant. This logistical requirement results in an exceptional concentration of sugars and intensely exotic flavours, essential for establishments that prioritise the excellence of the raw product. Professional uses, preparation and storage: ► Gastronomy and Pastry: Its juicy, colourful and naturally sweet flesh is ideal for fruit carpaccios, whole spit-roasting with mild spices (vanilla, star anise), or for making sorbets and exotic tarte tatin. ► Preparing the fruit: For a refined presentation, the fruit can be cut into perfect boat-shaped pieces or cylinders after being trimmed with a chef's knife. Its core, although firmer, is particularly tender in air-freighted shipments and can often be incorporated into recipes. ► Flavour pairings: It pairs remarkably well with seafood (scallops, prawns) for sweet-and-salty notes, or to balance the heat of bird's eye chillies in a salsa. ► Storage: Ready to eat upon receipt. To preserve its organoleptic qualities, it is advisable to store it in a cool, well-ventilated place, but avoid prolonged exposure to the intense cold of a positive cold store, which could affect its shine.
