Starfruit cultivated in the Axarquía (Málaga), a tropical and refreshing fruit star.

Harvested at the right point of ripeness, perfect to enjoy fresh, in juices or as a natural decoration.

Get to Know the Carambola

Carambola or star fruit grown in the Axarquía region of Málaga, a tropical fruit with a fresh and exotic flavor with the charm of local crops.

The carambola (Averrhoa carambola) is a tropical fruit that is star-shaped when cut, highly valued for its decorative appearance and refreshing flavor that balances sweetness and acidity.
Our carambola from Axarquía is cultivated in the subtropical microclimate of Málaga, where the mild temperatures and sea breeze favor slow and natural ripening, resulting in fruits of excellent quality and balanced flavor.

Rich in vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber, it is a light, hydrating fruit that is very versatile in the kitchen.

Origin and Cultivation

Produced in the Axarquía region (Málaga), one of the few areas in the peninsula where the climate allows for the cultivation of tropical fruits.
It is sustainably grown, with controlled irrigation and manual harvesting at the right level of ripeness to ensure freshness and natural flavor.

Uses and Consumption

Carambola is as versatile as it is visually appealing:

  • It can be consumed fresh, sliced for salads, desserts, or as a natural decoration.

  • Ideal for juices, smoothies, or cocktails, where it adds a tangy and aromatic touch.

  • It can also be used in baking, as a topping for cakes or in compotes.

  • Its star shape makes it perfect for decorating dishes and drinks.

Before consuming, wash the skin well (which is edible and very thin) and cut off the tougher ends.

How to Tell If It Is Ripe

  • Color: The carambola changes from intense green to a golden yellow with slightly brown edges when ripe.

  • Texture: It should be firm but slightly yielding to the touch, similar to a ripe plum.

  • Flavor: When ripe, it combines balanced sweetness and acidity; if it is still green, the acidic touch predominates.

  • If left to ripen further at room temperature, the color intensifies and the flavor becomes sweeter.

👉 Tip: Store ripe carambolas in the refrigerator to extend their freshness for up to 7 days.

Storage

Store in a cool, ventilated place.
Once ripe, keep in the refrigerator to preserve its crunchy texture and flavor for longer.

Benefits of Carambola

  • High in vitamin C, ideal for boosting the immune system.
  • Rich in antioxidants and phenolic compounds that help combat oxidative stress.
  • Very low in calories (about 35 kcal/100 g).
  • Provides soluble fiber, which contributes to digestive well-being.
