Alexandrine Pear Snack

Alexandrine pears are typically yellow-green , and originated from France. They have a juicy, aromatic, and very sweet flavor, usually intended for preserves and therefore not widely known to the public. These pears are not commonly cultivated in Portugal, being mainly used in Rocha pear orchards for pollination purposes, however, they are so delicious that we find it a shame not to use them. All the fruit we use comes from local fruit growers. If interested, you can check who produced the fruit on each package.

Production process

Our snacks production is easy, although the process is time-consuming

We begin by slicing the fruit and placing it in specially designed solar dryers, which is more eco-friendly than drying the fruit in ovens. This method preserves the fresh fruit flavor, a unique characteristic of our snacks.

As the fruit dries, its flavor intensifies, resulting in naturally sweet snacks without added sugar.

The drying process takes about 3 days, depending on the weather. After drying, we package the fruit.

All our snacks are a source of vitamins and minerals, and are also rich in fiber. For more information, please refer to the nutritional statement on the next tab.
