Pink Plume

B tier

Pink Plume is a heritage-leaning celery with rosy blush on slenderish ribs and a refined, slightly spicy celery perfume. Less massive than shipping Pascals; more elegant on a raw bar beside soft cheeses. Leaves often carry good colour too when grown cool. Serve raw with soft cheeses; braise gently in white wine. Garden scale suits small households better than giant green heads that limp before finishing. Seek seed-savers and specialty farms rather than conventional bulk bins. Shoppers meeting Pink Plume for the first time should taste it plain before masking it; the Refined Aroma profile is easier to remember that way.
