Located in: From the Garden, Fruit and Preserves

In addition to producing world-renowned Pecorino cheeses, our friends at Il Forteto maintain a vibrant farm with a number of fine, mature orchards. Until recently, their organically grown fruits were only sold by the bushel at the local farmer's market. Responding to repeated demand, they have started to preserve their orchard fruits in jars and have been kind enough to release to igourmet a limited amount of their exquisite fruit conserves. Rather than being overly sticky and sweet, these preserves taste like natural, spreadable fresh fruit.

Comments about Fruit Conserves by Il Forteto:

Here's the thing...I normally do not care for anything peach. Never been a fan of the flavor or even the smell.
I guess it's the difference in the taste of peaches from Italy vs. the USA but this is the best tasting preserves I have ever had.
Even if you aren't a fan of peach, just try it!
