Round
and fleshy, with a variety of skin colours ranging from red
to blue, not forgetting purple or yellow or green, this is
the common plum which can be found in all regions of France.
Originally
this fruit comes from Asia. It is cultivated in rural areas
alongside other fruits and produces a highly refined brandy.

The
brandy which is made from it is very subtle in flavour. Furthermore,
it is one of the most easily digestible brandies.
8kg of
fresh plums are required in order to obtain one 70cl bottle
at 45% vol., i.e., 25 kg of fruit in order to manufacture
1 litre of pure alcohol (1 litre at 100% vol.).
It can be savoured either cooled or on the contrary served
in a warm coffee cup.
It is also used in several cocktails
and long
drinks as well as an ingredient in many tasty dishes.
