Donya Foods Plum Paste (500g)

There's something deeply comforting about the flavour of slow-cooked plums — rich, jammy, and just tart enough to keep things interesting. Donya Traditional Plum Paste captures exactly that. Made from carefully selected plums, slow-cooked and concentrated in the traditional Persian style, this paste delivers a bold, fruity depth that lifts everything from hearty stews to simple marinades.

A staple in Iranian kitchens for generations, plum paste — known as Rob-e Aloo — is the secret behind the distinctive sweet-sour character of many classic Persian dishes. It's the kind of ingredient that's hard to replicate with anything else, and once you've cooked with it, you'll wonder how you managed without it.
