Kaki Ribera del Xúquer

Kaki Ribera del Xúquer is the persimmon fruit grown in the Province of Valencia. This fruit was brought to Europe, and consequently to Spain, in the 19th century from China, where it had been cultivated since the 8th century. Persimmons grown in this region are larger in size and have a more pointed shape.

Kaki Ribera del Xúquer is deep red, soft and has a very sweet, caramel flavor. This variety of persimmons does not contain any seeds and is very easy to peel. Because of the special method growers use to remove the bitterness and develop full flavor, this fruit can be picked before it is completely ripe and sold while its flesh is still firm.
