Where and how to choose your Victoria pineapple?
If you live in Reunion and it is high season, you will easily find one everywhere ! Fairground markets, supermarkets and even roadside markets.
If you live in mainland France or elsewhere, you will find them in specialized store in fruits and vegetables.
As for the choice of pineapple, great attention must be paid to it, it requires having a good look And a good sense of smell ! The choice of your pineapple will determine the taste quality of your Rhum Arrangé.
We advise you to choose a pineapple wall, but not too much. The more or less pronounced yellow color as well as a powerful scent present a ripe pineapple. Be careful, the color criterion can sometimes prove confusing: the Victoria pineapple can be green or green/yellow but have a perfectly ripe fruit... We strongly recommend that you rely on her perfume.
Concerning its conservation, 2 to 3 maximum at room temperature.
