Top chef tie-up for AVA Magnum strawberries

Berry supplier Angus Soft Fruits (ASF) has announced a new partnership with leading Scottish chef Paul Tamburrini.

Renowned for his extraordinary culinary talents and innovative creations, Tamburrini has incorporated ASF’s AVA Magnum strawberry into his menu at Loch Lomond Cameron House’s fine dining restaurant, Tamburrini & Wishart.

The limited-edition White Chocolate Millie-Feullie features compressed AVA Magnum strawberries, complemented by a delicate fermented sauce and milk sorbet. It will be exclusively available at the restaurant until next month.

According to ASF, the AVA Magnum strawberry is known for its “exceptional flavour and succulent juiciness, and perfectly enhances the dessert’s textures and tastes”.

Tamburrini said: “We pride ourselves in serving our guests the finest of flavours Scotland has to offer, working only with local produce of superior quality. AVA Magnum strawberries are undeniably the best strawberries in Scotland and we are delighted to feature these berries in our dessert.

“Working with Angus Soft Fruits has been a true pleasure, and I am excited to present this creation to our guests at Tamburrini & Wishart. The natural sweetness and exceptional quality of berries add a unique dimension to my White Chocolate Mille-Feuille.”

Jill Witheyman, head of marketing at ASF, added: “Collaborating with chef Paul Tamburrini has been an honour. Working with a culinary visionary of his calibre has been a privilege and witnessing our strawberries featured on the menu of Tamburrini & Wishart is truly a proud moment for us, showcasing the impeccable taste of AVA Magnum.”
