Ripe fruit is dried, selected, and pitted. D’Agen prunes may undergo conditioning or tenderization to achieve a softer, more uniform texture while maintaining their characteristic flavor and appearance.

Organoleptic Characteristics

Dark purple to black color; soft, fleshy, slightly moist texture; characteristic dried-prune aroma; naturally sweet to mildly tart flavor, free from abnormal odors or off-flavors.

Quality and Selection Criteria

Select fleshy, uniform-colored fruit with good integrity, free from mold, fermentation, foreign matter, severe damage, or abnormal odors. As this is a pitted product, minimal commercial tolerances for residual pit fragments may apply according to the producer’s specifications.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, clean place protected from direct light, preferably between 10–15 °C (50–59 °F) with controlled relative humidity. Once opened, keep the package properly sealed to minimize moisture loss or absorption and preserve the product’s texture and quality.
