Division 5.2 Specificity of the product

The ‘Amarene Brusche di Modena’ protected geographical indication differs, in particular, from other products belonging to the same category of goods by virtue of the particular organoleptic and chemical and physical characteristics of the raw material, which in turn come from the variety of sour cherries grown in the area of production, and by virtue, above all, of the characteristic flavour of the jam, which strikes a good balance between sweetness and sourness, with an acidic tinge. Another important distinguishing characteristic is the natural production process, which is based on concentrating the fruit through thermal evaporation without the use of thickeners, colourings or preservatives, the high ratio of fruit to added sugar and the absence of further processing prior to packaging.
