Pierre TIlquin described the differences between the two plum varieties in a post on Facebook: "They are very close, but the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace is a little bit more sweet than the Prune de Namur, which is a little bit more sour. The Prune de Namur is also a little bit smaller than the Quetsche véritable d'Alsace".
