Comments

Taste test notes
  • Good size, shape and even cross, great fruit variety so adds interesting flavours and textures. No glaze but overall a delicious product.
  • What it's lacking in spice it makes up for in fruit. Slightly artificial spice aftertaste.
  • Apricot is a great touch, needs glaze, when fresh it has a raw spice flavour but when toasted it has great texture and flavour.
  • Perfect for toasting and buttering. Love the array of fruits.
