What is a ‘pome fruit’?

You’ve probably seen the word ‘pomme’, French for apple, but pome comes from the Latin for fruit, ‘pomum’. Pome fruits have a central core containing multiple small seeds, surrounded by an edible layer of flesh and a tough outer membrane.

Pome fruits might sound fancy, but they are the familiar flavours we all love, apples, pears and quinces. Sweet, gently tart, and oh-so-versatile, they bring a clean, refreshing profile that’s perfect for the warmer months.

There’s something effortlessly charming about classic pome fruits. The flavours of apple and pears, bringing a crisp, juicy brightness that is perfect for summer bakes and sweet creations.

They are not just for pies and puddings either. Apple and pear flavourings work beautifully in chocolate, patisserie, buttercreams, mousses, ganache and more. Whether you are making delicate bonbons or fluffy summer bakes, these bright, natural flavours are a great way to keep your creations light and seasonal.
