Forgotten fruits

This name is given to a number of ancient fruits, largely grown in this area in the late Middle Ages, that for many centuries, processed and stored, were an alimentary and economic resource for the country families in wintertime.

Today these fruits, almost disappeared as wild plants, are cultivated again by some farmers as "niche" products, for the consumers looking for traditional and genuine flavours.

 

Fox's pear

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.

   

Other forgotten fruits

These are small fruits with an ancient taste, sweet or sharp, but always strong and unmistakable.

They are used mainly cooked or for home made jams.
