The Gros Michel earns its place three ways. It tastes more intense than a Cavendish, so it holds up cooked, caramelized, or raw. It holds its structure — the denser flesh doesn't collapse. And it sells itself — it's the rare produce item worth naming on a menu, because the name comes with a story.

Flavor

Aromatic and concentrated. Reads clearly through sugar, dairy, and heat.

Structure

Dense and resilient. Behaves on the plate and in the pastry section.
