Most part of the countryside within the municipality of Monteroni di Lecce is dedicated to grow peaches. The species grown in the area is of a fine quality: the “prunus persica”.
During the spring season, walking through the countryside, it is possible to admire the elegant trees with their pink flowers. The peach tree groves of this area are well known for their early maturation and the right texture of the fruit produced.
The taste of these peaches is as well very good and it is due to the use of traditional cultivation techniques, which are passed on from one generation to another.
