Uva Fragolina

HK$200

Estimated price per piece

It’s the time of the vendemmia or grape harvest, and in all the markets now you can find this irresistibly, seductive fruit. A pulp, sweet at first, sour if you bite into it, which pops out of a rather thick tart skin. Delicious, addictive. Nature’s “SweeTart.” This is the Uva Americana or “American Grape,” also known in Italy as Uva Fragolaor “Fragolino” because of its strawberry overtones. This vine originating in North America survives well in Italy’s northern climes. And thank God it does, because it is one of September’s greatest sensual pleasures. If the taste doesn’t overwhelm your senses, its appearance will. Deep purple, the color of sensuality itself, dusted with what appears to be a permanent morning mist. Don’t be shy when buying them. A large “vaschetta” (or little tubful) will disappear before you know it.

Fragola grapes can be used in mutliple ways in the kitchen, like for icecream, focaccia and risotto.
Risotto with Fragola (strawberry) grapes is a dish with a unique taste that will surprise you. In fact, contrary to what one might imagine, the flavor of this dish is definitely not too sweet but instead keeps intact the typical fragola grape aroma and its light sour taste.
