How are Aragon fruits made?
Perhaps while searching for a gift for your family during your trip to Aragon, you've come across the fruits of Aragon.
Among hundreds of varieties of sweets and gifts from our region, this is the most popular option for tourists to take a piece of Aragon home with them.
If you're wondering what this type of traditional sweet is and how it's made, you're in luck.
Today we'll tell you about the entire process of making this sweet so characteristic of our autonomous community.
Terrain and climate: the basis for its flavor
The first step to understanding how the fruits of Aragon are made is to understand our environment.
The autonomous community of Aragon is characterized by a wide variety of microclimates and soils that favor the cultivation of different types of fruit.
From the cool soils of the Ebro Valley to the mountains of the Aragonese Pyrenees, each area has unique conditions that directly influence the flavor and texture of the fruits.
Apples, pears, cherries, peaches, and plums are some of the most representative varieties of the region, which is why they are also the most widely used.
The combination of a continental climate with cold winters and warm, dry summers allows for optimal development of these fruits, where sunny days promote the accumulation of sugars and cold nights help maintain firmness.
Harvest at the key moment
The fruit harvesting process is another essential factor in ensuring its excellence.
In Aragon, the harvest is generally done manually, with farmers carefully selecting the pieces at their peak ripeness.
Furthermore, manual harvesting prevents mechanical damage that could occur with machinery, ensuring that the fruit reaches the market in perfect condition.
This care extends to transportation, where specific packaging is used to protect the product during transit.
artisanal production
In Aragon, numerous products derived from the fruits of our region are made to get the most out of each harvest.
Jams, juices, compotes, and preserves are prepared following traditional recipes passed down from generation to generation.
These products are a way to extend the shelf life of fruits and bring their flavor to those who prefer to enjoy them in different ways.
This is due to the exclusive use of ripe fruits and artisanal techniques that respect natural cooking times.
Quality assurance
Fruits from Aragon have several certifications and designations of origin that guarantee their quality and origin.
These seals guarantee consumers that they are purchasing an authentic product, grown under strict controls that ensure its flavor and safety.
Among these certifications, the Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) "Cereza de Aragón" (Aragon Cherry) stands out, which protects the quality and specific characteristics of the fruit.
