Black with a slight sheen, it is a real “black pearl” among the berries. It has a strong characteristic aroma and a specific taste. It is usually used in sweet dishes (it can well compete with other berries as a filling for dumplings and pancakes), for decorating Viennese waffles, and other confectionery. It is added to desserts and cocktails. Black currant is popular as a base for ice cream and sherbets. It is indispensable in cocktails – both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
