I Love Fruit & Veg from Europe Emphasizes Fresh European Produce
I Love Fruit & Veg from Europe encourages incorporating fresh European produce into festive meals to create dishes that are both flavorful and nutritious. The initiative is supported by several producer organizations and co-funded by the European Commission. It seeks to highlight the versatility of fruits and vegetables in holiday menus. Suggestions range from appetizers to desserts, with a focus on integrating produce into both traditional and innovative recipes.
A featured example in this fresh European produce-focused campaign is the cheese and pear savory tart, which blends the sweetness of Coscia pears with the boldness of blue cheese. This concoction is complemented by a rosemary-infused shortcrust pastry. The recipe is straightforward, taking just over an hour to prepare and bake, and showcases how fruits can transition from a dinner conclusion to a savory dish.
