    The pleasantly sweet-sour feijoa puree is green and has a creamy, slightly grainy consistency, as also known from guavas. The aroma is best described by listing other exotic fruits such as kiwi, pineapple, and banana.

    One also detects distinctly fresh notes of green apple, mint, and wintergreen. These are joined by more floral components of lavender and lilac, rounded off by spicy clove and vanilla notes.
