Publication note
Published as a product profile: validated sources do not fully document ingredients and/or method details.
What it is
A strongly localised Irpinian pear: dark green, russeted, elongated, acidic and grainy.
Origin place card
Internal Irpinia in Avellino province, where the source places the fruit mainly in family orchards or isolated trees.
Verified history
Historical depth remains limited; the direct-read source supports identity/core product description but not deeper archival history.
Ingredients
Ingredients not fully documented in validated sources.
Method
Method/process not fully documented in validated sources.
Why travel for it
Worth fielding in Avellino villages because the source says it rarely leaves the strictly local market.
Recreate-it pathway
Use the page as a cultivar profile; do not write recipe claims until household uses are interviewed.
Fieldwork questions
Why is it called Rosario? Which villages still sell or exchange it?
