Pitted Prunes
SKU: SHLL0894X1 250gR85.00
We have always had prunes here on Koelfontein, but over the years the prune trees started making way for other fruit to the extent that today we have only one prune orchard left. The D’Agen prune block of half a hectare is actually the smallest and oldest orchard on the farm. We believe that it is almost 100 years old. Most of our prunes come from Chile these days. Chile has been producing prunes for over 70 years and has about 15,000 hectares of farmland under prune cultivation in the central region of the country. The Mediterranean climate and natural protection of the Atacama Desert and Andes Mountains help keep the pests at bay and the fruit sweet!
