CURIOSITIES

THE PEAR ROCHA DO OESTE

It is an exclusively Portuguese variety that appeared spontaneously on the west coast, specifically in the municipality of Sintra.

VERY GRANULATED PULP

It can be consumed crunchy or more mature. The proximity to the sea gives the pulp consistency and the sun gives it a high sugar content.

THE SPRAY OF YOUR EPIDERMIS

It is called russeting and is typical of this variety. It is next to the scale that the sugars accumulate. The percentage and concentration of scale varies depending on the weather conditions each year.

“PÊRA ROCHA DO OESTE” (DOP)

The European Union recognized this variety as a traditional quality product through its protection with the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) insignia.

AVAILABLE ALL YEAR

Rocha pears can be preserved in intelligent cold rooms, where the fruit respiration is put on standby for a period of up to 10 months, without this affecting its flavor and freshness.

All batches of fruit undergo quality tests upon arrival at our fruit center.
