Our Agen prune we love it

Maison Roucadil owns a few orchards. Obtaining the best quality prune needs care all year round :

Winter is the pruning season : pruning is necessay to obtain larger fruit
March and April : the beautiful blossoming makes the orchards like snowfields
May to August : ripening period, when we care for the trees and hope to have sunny weather to get sweet plums
End August-early September : crop period is the peak period when we gather and dry the plums. Gathering is conducted by shaking the trees gently so that only ripe plums fall. They are dried within 48 hours
Autumn and winter season : calibration period. Once plums are turned into prunes, they are calibrated by size before long storage. For preparing the final product we will choose the right size to fit the customers needs.

In addition to the family crop, Maison Roucadil works in close partnership with several growers : it’s not a matter of just purchasing prunes, but a partnership throughout the year enables us to obtain the fruit to our specification.

Maison Roucadil has full control of the production : from cultivation of plum trees to the final, ready to consume prepacked prune.

The « MI-CUIT de la Saint-Luc » : SEMI DRIED PRUNE

18th of October is Saint-Luc's day.

This is when the wood pigeons migrate to the south, flying above southwest of France. It is an opportunity to invite friends into the wooden huts to observe the birds, and also to enjoy special local food. In Lot et Garonne it’s time to celebrate also the new crop prunes called « Saint Luc semi-dried prunes ». Maison Roucadil perpetuates this tradition and offers the consumers the very best of the prunes.

Process Secrets

Tradition : by the end of the crop, the last plums have taken advantage of more sunny days and will be turned into the best Agen prunes, being only partially dried to become the « Saint Luc prune »

Fruit : just fruit

The semi dried prune keeps the original taste and nutritional content of the fruit as well as keeping moist and meaty.
