How to cook
Eaten fresh
Bring to room temperature and the aroma opens up.
Compote
Poached in white wine with sugar.
Salad
With prosciutto or mozzarella.
Jam
Cooked down.
How to choose
Even colour all over with a strong aroma, and symmetrical either side of the seam.
Storage
Ripen at room temperature and chill two or three hours before eating. Over-chilling dulls the sweetness.
Main areas
Good to know
The flesh is very soft and bruises easily. Do not press with a finger to test it; that spot will spoil.
