Kiwi de Corse

Kiwi de Corse is a French variety of kiwi fruit originating from the department of Haute-Corse. This fruit of the Hayward variety is oval in shape, has brown-green hairy skin, and bright green flesh that's dotted with tiny black seeds. The flavors are sweet and slightly tart, while the texture is juicy and soft.

The kiwi is picked only when ripe and it's then packaged in loose packs or layered in trays. In Corsica, there's a long tradition of fruit tree cultivation, and the cultivation of kiwi fruit began in the 1970s.
