Raspberry
About
Raspberries have a sweet-sour taste with fruity and floral notes, particularly violet, along with a leafy quality, while their seeds add a warm, woody note. Ripe raspberries develop an intense, perfumed character reminiscent of raspberry jam. They pair well with other sweet-sour fruits such as apricot, blackberry, and pineapple, as well as lighter herbal flavors, and like strawberries carry inherent dairy-like notes that make them especially good with cream, yogurt, and soft cheeses.
