SORRENTINO GRAPE SULTANINA GR.250

SORRENTINO SULTANINE GRAPES

Sultanas are a variety of grapes that we also know by the name of "raisins" or "raisins".

This particular grape is obtained by drying the grapes of a variety native to Turkish, Iranian or Greek lands.

This grape variety has small elliptical berries, golden yellow in color and with an exquisitely sweet flavor. Once dried it takes on amber shades and the pulp remains firm with a thin skin that is easy to chew.

Its sultana name is connected to the name of the city of Sultania in the Crimean peninsula where in ancient times cultivation and use as an ingredient in cooking was very traditional. Currently, the largest production of sultanas is in Turkey but also in Australia and the United States.

Sultanas are dry and we can eat them as a snack or for breakfast in order to have a super charge of energy to face the whole day. Later we can use it in the kitchen after having hydrated it in water for a few hours.

Once rehydrated we can use it in our cooking recipes.

Sultanas or raisins are sold as an ingredient for pastry preparations such as cakes, cookies, and other sweets.

Very well known, used and even traditional in Italian cuisine, so much so that it is one of the essential ingredients of the Christmas panettone and many other typical sweets of our peninsula.
