product information
product information
Currants are members of the ribes family of flowering shrubs that thrive in northern climates with warm summers and cold winters. The tiny berries grow in clusters on stems and are best when allowed to ripen on the plant. They are dried, dark red, seedless grapes often called the Black Corinth grape. The grapes are dried to produce a black, shriveled, sweet, flavor-packed fruit.
The grapes were originally cultivated in the south of Greece and more specifically, the island of Zante, hence the name Zante currant.
