spring recipes!
Although there are many varieties of peaches, you typically only see red and yellow skins in Spain. The Spanish peach grows in all climates, but their optimal time is spring, starting In May. Full of vitamin C, potassium and fibre nutrients, their naturally sugary taste is the ultimate treat for your yacht guests during the warm spring days.
Grown in Spain, peaches are a popular fruit with the most popular varieties being the Paraguayos peach and the Nectarine. Your guests can enjoy this fruit fresh as a snack or the superyacht chefs can prepare desserts, baked goods, and savoury dishes such as salads.
Cherry season usually starts in late April and lasts until early June, with the peak season in late May. Spain is one of the most popular cherry producers with a wide number of cultivars in the country, therefore, a must-have local ingredient for chefs to have on board.
Some of the popular Spanish varieties include the Burlat cherry, which is the earliest ripening variety bearing bright red and juicy fruit. The Ambrunés cherry is known for its firm and crunchy texture and the Picota cherry is known for its distinctive flavour and texture.
Cherries are often eaten fresh as a snack, and they are a perfect treat for your yacht guests to have on hand during the day. However, your superyacht chefs can also include this seasonal local produce in desserts, including cherry pies, tarts, and ice creams.
Bananas are an excellent source of potassium, vitamin C, vitamin B6, fibre and antioxidants. An absolute must-have in your yacht’s fruit baskets. Their natural sweetness makes them a healthy and satisfying snack or star ingredient for chefs’ to add to spring recipes.
Although bananas are usually
imported
from South American countries such as
Ecuador
and
Costa Rica, they are widely available year-round in
Spain and in the Canary Islands.
Watermelon is a hydrating fruit that is highly refreshing during the warm late spring months. A good source of vitamins A and C, supporting immune health and with many anti-inflammatory antioxidants. This an excellent choice of local produce to add to the list for your next provisioning order.

and

yacht
guests. It is also important to note that
