Like all great social change movements, Fair Trade is a messy and imperfect project.
Ecuador is one of the biggest producers of roses on the planet. On just under 4000 hectares of land 404 varieties of roses grow 2000 metres above sea level on the plains of the Ecuadorian Sierra. The unique climatic and geographic conditions of the plains allow roses to be grown at a consistent temperature year round. This consistency has given Ecuadorian roses an excellent reputation for having long stems, bright colours, and an extended vase life. Ecuadorian roses are enjoyed world wide and are sold in more than 90 countries.
This is a fast, impressive and versatile dessert. We have made it not only with plums but with pears, apricots, nectarines and wild blueberries and the results have always been delicious. The torte can be served warm or at room temperature.
