Medlar derivatives: typical product of the Valencian Community

The níspero, especially that of Callosa d'en Sarrià with its Denomination of Origin, is a treasure of the Valencian Community. But its versatility goes beyond simply consuming fresh fruit. The region has developed a wide range of derived products, making the most of the flavor and properties of this autumn fruit.

From the classic loquat jams with their intense flavor and amber color, to the soft loquat creams ideal for spreading on toast or cookies, the variety is extensive. The most daring can enjoy loquat spirits, spirits with a fruity touch and a slightly bitter finish. For sweet lovers, loquats in syrup are a perfect option, preserving their texture and flavor naturally.

But creativity has no limits. We also find loquat juices, loquat honey, loquat vinegars to dress salads, and even ice creams and sorbets with this fruit as the protagonist. These products not only satisfy the palate, but also provide the nutritional benefits of the medlar, such as its high fiber and vitamin content.

The Valencian Community has been able to make the most of the culinary possibilities of the loquat, creating a wide range of products that allow you to enjoy its flavor throughout the year and in different presentations.
