White Currant

White currant, a rare variant of the common red currant, is a small, translucent berry with a subtly sweet and mildly tangy flavor. The berries grow on a deciduous shrub, and are cherished for their delicate, juicy nature. Unlike its red counterpart, the white currant boasts a lighter, less acidic profile, making it a favorite for those who prefer less intensity in tartness.

The scent profile of white currant is refreshing and subtly complex. It evokes a gentle, aromatic blend of brightness with hints of tartness, not unlike that of freshly cut citrus but with a softer, more delicate nuance. The white currant's aroma also carries a slight hint of floral notes, adding to its freshness and making it particularly appealing in perfumes and scented products where a light, invigorating fragrance is desired.
