Description
Amaou is a celebrated strawberry developed in Fukuoka Prefecture. Its name draws on four Japanese words describing the fruit: akai for red, marui for round, ōkii for large and umai for delicious. The variety is recognized for its glossy deep-red appearance, generous size and concentrated balance of sweetness and acidity.
Why TAKA Amaou Strawberry Purée?
This Sakura Series purée is made specifically with Fukuoka-grown Amaou strawberries rather than a blend of unnamed strawberry varieties. The frozen berries are thawed at a low temperature, processed and rapidly heated and cooled to retain their fresh fruit character. Its named regional variety delivers a richer and more distinctive Japanese strawberry profile than a conventional blended purée.
Flavour and Applications
The purée has a deep strawberry colour, fragrant aroma and full-bodied flavour. Its pronounced sweetness is balanced by enough acidity to keep pastry, frozen-dessert and beverage preparations lively.
Use it in mousses, crémeux, shortcakes, tart fillings, glazes, pâte de fruit and plated desserts, or prepare sorbet, gelato and frozen parfaits. It also works beautifully in smoothies, milkshakes, cocktails, mocktails, dessert sauces and fruit vinaigrettes. Amaou strawberry pairs especially well with cream, white chocolate, matcha, pistachio, vanilla, yuzu, balsamic vinegar, basil and shiso.
