My first taste of NERGI® berry fruit
left me seriously wowed. I loved the sweet juicy berry with a slight tartness.
The berries are really refreshing and exude a very sweet aroma.
I used my berries to make a Nergi berry and white chocolate mousse. The sweetness of the white chocolate mousse and the slight sharpness from the berry made the perfect combination making my dessert simply delectable.
