🌍 Origin

Persimmons are native to East Asia, particularly China, Korea, and Japan, and are now cultivated in Spain, Turkey, and the Middle East for export worldwide. The fruit thrives in mild, temperate climates with rich, well-drained soil. Spanish and Turkish persimmons are especially valued for their uniform size, smooth skin, and intense natural sweetness. Harvested during late autumn, each fruit is handpicked at peak ripeness to ensure superior taste and freshness.
