Product Description

California is the source for most of the prunes in this country, but France is the home of the most splendid prune of all, the Pruneaux d'Agen; which is available from ChefShop.com. Special plum trees in the heart of orchard country in Lot-et-Garonne in France are cultivated exclusively for prune making. The ente plum is a hybrid of a local plum and the exotic damask, brought from Syria in the 12th century. The plums are shaken from the trees, dried in the sun and finished in a barely warm oven. The result is a huge, plump prune with a deep spicy aroma, a summer harvest ready to enjoy all winter long. Monsieur et Madame Raymond Cabos make the best Pruneaux d'Agen in France. They cultivate their own plums in orchards handed down through generations in Mirabel, in the southwest of France, in the heart of prune country, and their staple product is perfect, The plums are shaken from the trees, and air dried into some of the best Pruneaux anyone has ever tasted, but they dont stop there. With micro-thin skins they are absolutely melt-in-you-mouth delicious, and just as good for snacking as they are for sweet or savory dishes, like Bruce Aidells and Denis Kellys Braised Pork Butt with Port and Prunes. The Cabos are true artisans and their products are in high demand in France and throughout Europe. The supply is very limited. In my recent visit to the Salon de Fermier food show in Paris, there was a large crowd around their booth throughout the entire day, and after tasting their wares and seeing the passion in their eyes I understood why.
