Bananas from Basse-Terre candied with cane sugar
The banana hardly needs an introduction, yet it's a fruit that still holds plenty of surprises for those who take an interest in its history and many varieties. The banana is an enormous plant, not a tree, with many different kinds of fruit, and a wide range of sizes, colours and sweetness. While only a few special varieties are suitable for candy, the banana encapsulates the entire life and warmth of the tropics in a single fruit.
...We choose the finest fruits from friendly local producers, then poach them gently in pure cane sugar in the climate where they ripened. Nothing else is added. We pack them carefully in an attractive box to deliver them safely to you. Then we start all over again. If our goals are simple, our desire to bring you pleasure is unlimited.
