Italian Prunes, also known as Italian plums, have smooth, dark purple skin that encloses golden to amber-colored flesh. The texture is firm yet tender, with a naturally high sugar content that intensifies as the fruit ripens. Their flavor is rich, sweet, and slightly tart, making them excellent for fresh eating, baking, drying into prunes, or cooking down into preserves and sauces. These versatile fruits are prized for both their taste and their ability to hold shape when baked.
