Pöllauer Hirschbirne

For centuries, the Hirschbirne dominated the lush, green landscapes of the Austrian Pöllauer valley, where it fully adapted to local climate conditions. Today, Pöllauer Hirschbirne represents the staple of pear cultivation and stands as a symbol of both traditional orcharding and innovative industrial development.

However, the cultivation of Pöllauer Hirschbirne requires great patience, since it takes about ten years for the first yield. Whether enjoyed fresh or as Kletze (dried pears), fermented into wine or distilled into brandy, pressed into juice or boiled down to jam - the sugary and aromatic Hirsch pear is a true original, distinguished by a unique flavor.
