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. In Portugal, they are not commonly cultivated, mainly used in Rocha pear orchards for pollination purposes. Typically, these pears are not utilized, but they are so delicious that we find it a shame not to use them. All the fruit we use is produced by local fruit growers. If interested, you can check who produced the fruit on each package.

Production process

Our snacks are easy to make, but the process is time-consuming.

We start by slicing the fruit and placing it in specially designed solar dryers, which is more environmentally friendly than drying the fruit in ovens. This method allows the fruit to preserve the fresh fruit flavor, a unique characteristic of our snacks.

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

The drying process takes about 3 days, depending on the weather. After drying, the fruit is packaged.

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.
