Gooseberry
The gooseberry, also known as the prickly or crossberry, is a delicious berry with a fuzzy skin. It has quite a tart flavour, but this depends on how ripe the berry is: the riper, the sweeter. Usually, the gooseberry is light green, but it also comes in red, yellow, or purple. This berry is great for making sauces to accompany meat or fish.

Care
Gooseberries are firm, but the stems are delicate, so handle them with care to avoid bruising.
Storage
Store gooseberries in a transparent, breathable container to prevent condensation. Avoid stacking the containers too high to reduce pressure.
Presentation
Display gooseberries alongside other soft fruits like raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries for an appealing presentation.

Growing Method
The gooseberries from BelOrta are grown both in open fields and in greenhouses. In the open fields, the gooseberries grow naturally, while in the greenhouse, the conditions are more closely controlled. These cultivation methods ensure that the gooseberries can grow and ripen optimally, preserving their full flavour and nutritional value.
