It's a small fruit with a peculiar shape, one of the 'forgotten fruits' coming from the past and still cultivated in the countryside around Brisighella.

It used to be largely widespread and appreciated; today farmers are reintroducing this plant in specific areas of Faenza Apennine.

The harvest takes place between october and november.

This kind of pear developes its peculiar flavour after the harvest; a typical way of cooking is boiling it for a long time in red sweetened wine.
