Pera dell'Emilia Romagna

Grown in the provinces of Reggio Emilia, Ferrara, Modena, Ravenna and Bologna, Pera dell’Emilia Romagna refers to fresh pears of the following varieties: Abate Fetel, Conference, Decana del Comizio, Kaiser, Max Red Bartlett, Cascade, Passa Crassana and William.

The excellent quality of these pears is directly influenced by the pedoclimatic conditions of the designated cultivation area and the producers' expertise. Depending on the variety, the harvesting of Emilia-Romagna pears generally begins in mid-August and lasts until the end of September.

Since all of the varieties are particularly juicy and sweet, Emilia-Romagna pears can be used in numerous sweet and savory dishes. For an interesting combination of flavors, they can be enjoyed in a risotto with Pecorino cheese and paired with a glass of white wine.
