Donya Foods Sour Cherry Paste (500g)
If you've ever tasted a proper Persian sour cherry stew or a slow-cooked duck dish with that unmistakable deep, fruity tang, you'll know exactly what this paste brings to the table. Donya Traditional Sour Cherry Paste is made from carefully selected sour cherries, slow-cooked and concentrated to capture the full intensity of their natural flavour — bold, tart, and just a touch sweet. It's the kind of ingredient that transforms an ordinary dish into something genuinely memorable.
Rooted in the culinary traditions of northern Iran, this paste is a staple in Persian kitchens and is increasingly finding its place in adventurous British cooking. Whether you're making a classic Morgh-e Torsh, enriching a red wine sauce, or adding a fruity depth to a slow-braised lamb shoulder, a spoonful of this paste does the heavy lifting beautifully.
