Chopped Dried Pears 500g by Danke Bauer

Chopped Dried Pears – approx. 500g Our chopped dried pears, also known as “Kletzen,” are a traditional specialty from Carinthia and represent natural flavor and authentic Alpine cuisine. For production, the pears are carefully selected and harvested in autumn. They are then halved, gently dried, destemmed, and finely chopped. Thanks to this traditional processing method, the full fruity-sweet aroma of the pears is preserved. Kletzen have been an important part of traditional rural cuisine in Carinthia for generations. In the past, they were especially valued for their long shelf life and their wide range of uses. Dried pears and pear flour were already used back then as valuable ingredients in numerous traditional dishes and baked goods. Today, dried pears are used in many different ways in modern cuisine. They are ideal for muesli, porridge, desserts, cakes, bread, or savory dishes. They are especially popular as a natural addition to a balanced breakfast. Combined with our traditional Carinthian Organic Talggen, they create a particularly filling and flavorful meal. Of course, Kletzen are also an essential ingredient in classic Carinthian specialties. Traditional Carinthian “Kletzennudeln” are especially well known and remain one of the region’s most popular dishes to this day. Our chopped dried pears impress with their natural sweetness, versatile uses, and high-quality processing. Made without artificial additives, they bring a piece of traditional Carinthian culinary culture directly into your kitchen.
