What Makes Kali Patti Special

Kali Patti (also written Kalipatti / Kalipatti) is a well-established sapota (chikoo / sapodilla) cultivar widely grown in Maharashtra, Gujarat and parts of Karnataka. It’s celebrated for its deep, malty sweetness, soft buttery pulp and low seed count, making it a favorite table fruit and a chef’s delight for desserts and premium fruit platters. 🍈

Origin & Provenance

Our Kali Patti Cheeku is sourced from certified-organic orchards tended by experienced growers in the Satara-Sangli region of Maharashtra - a historically well-suited region for sapota cultivation due to warm, humid climate and well-drained soils 🌴🌊. These terroir factors, combined with careful organic orchard management, help produce fruit with concentrated sugars and pronounced aroma.

Taste & Texture Profile

Expect a heady, malt-like sweetness with notes of brown sugar, pear and honey, a velvety, melt-in-the-mouth pulp, and an aroma that fills the room when you cut the fruit 🍐🍯. Kali Patti typically has thin skin, low seed counts (often 1-4 seeds) and a generous, juicy flesh - perfect for eating fresh or using in refined culinary applications. Please note our cheeku is 100% organic and thus, has a tender peel. If you want to experience the joy of eating cheeku with peel, this is the variety for you.

Season & Freshness

Kali Patti is primarily harvested in the cooler months (main picking season around advent of winter in many growing pockets) 🌤️, allowing you to enjoy peak sweetness and aroma when the fruit is mature. We harvest at optimum ripeness and deliver quickly to preserve the delicate texture and fragrance.

Culinary & Serving Ideas 🍽️

• Fresh: Slice and serve chilled with a sprinkle of roasted seeds or a squeeze of lime.
• Gourmet: Purée into sorbets, panna cotta bases, ice creams or refined fruit compotes 🍨.
• Drinks & wellness: Blend into smoothies or milkshakes for a natural, malty sweetness 🥤.
• Preserves: Excellent for artisanal preserves and flavored syrups where natural sugar concentration matters 🍶.
