Taste test notes
u0026#149; Good size, shape and even cross, great fruit variety so adds interesting flavours and textures. No glaze but overall a delicious product.u003cbru003e u0026#149; What it's lacking in spice it makes up for in fruit. Slightly artificial spice aftertaste.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Apricot is a great touch, needs glaze, when fresh it has a raw spice flavour but when toasted it has great texture and flavour.u003cbru003e u0026#149; Perfect for toasting and buttering. Love the array of fruits.u003cbru003e
