Pescabivona

Grown in the fertile Magazzolo River basin south-west of the Sicilian Sicani Mountains, namely within the provinces of Agrigento and Palermo, Pescabivona refers to peaches of four different varieties: Bianca, Murtiddara or Primizia Bianca, Agostina and Settembrina. One of the distinguishing characteristics of the velvety Pescabivona is that even the late-ripening varieties, harvested at the beginning of autumn, maintain the qualities of summer peaches, preserving the remarkable consistency and sweetness of their flesh.

Pescabivona is quite juicy and thus particularly suited for making jams and granitas. For a refreshing summer dessert, these fragrant peaches can be flavored with lemon juice and wine, or enjoyed in fruit salads accompanied by ice cream.
