About this variety

One of the best known pear quinces of all, valued for its large, strongly fragrant fruit. Vranja is self fertile and considered reliable in yield. Just a few ripe fruits will perfume a whole room. It ripens late and needs a warm position to mature fully.
Exceptionally intense, floral aroma. Cooked into puree, jelly or quince paste it convinces with depth and a delicate sweetness.
