Description Tabacchiera Peach
A Unique Shape for an Unmistakable Flavor
The Tabacchiera Peach is easily recognizable by its flattened shape, reminiscent of ancient snuffboxes. This peculiarity is not just aesthetic: its compact form and firm flesh make every bite an explosion of freshness and sweetness.
Originating from the fertile areas at the foot of Mount Etna and also found in the valleys of the Nebrodi Mountains, this peach variety is appreciated for its intense and enveloping flavor, with light floral notes that emerge at the first cut. The stone is small and easily detachable, leaving room for generous flesh, perfect to enjoy pure or in gourmet preparations.
Nutritional Properties: Lightness and Wellness in Every Bite
Beyond its delicious taste, the Tabacchiera Peach is a true concentrate of health. It contains very few calories, just 27 kcal per 100 grams, and a high water content exceeding 88%, making it the ideal choice for rehydration during hot summer days.
It’s rich in natural fibers that promote intestinal regularity and help control hunger. The presence of vitamin C helps strengthen the immune system and protect the skin from oxidative stress, while folic acid is valuable for those following a careful and balanced diet.
Thanks to its high potassium content, the Tabacchiera Peach is particularly suitable for counteracting summer fatigue, maintaining the body’s water-salt balance, and supporting proper muscle function.
How to Enjoy It: From Simplicity to Culinary Creativity
The most authentic way to savor the Tabacchiera Peach is to enjoy it naturally, perhaps chilled, to fully appreciate its sweetness and crunchy texture. But this versatile fruit also offers great satisfaction in the kitchen:
-
Sliced and added to summer salads for a touch of freshness and color.
-
As the main ingredient in fruit salads and energy smoothies.
-
Caramelized in a pan with a drizzle of honey to accompany aged cheeses.
-
In soft cakes, fragrant tarts, or artisanal ice creams for desserts with an intoxicating aroma.
-
Also perfect for homemade jams that preserve the summer flavor for a long time.
