Currant Raisins

Dark raisins with sharp, full flavor in small size, under 1cm across. Produced from an ancient grape variety originally traded out of the Corinth port in Greece, from which they get their title. They are alternatively known as Zante currants and often mixed with raisins and candied peel in mixed dried fruit products. Sometimes labeled as “black currants,” but they are unrelated to black currants, red currants or white currants, which are berry varieties that have very different, much more sour flavor profiles.
