Fragola Fabbri Strawberries in Heavy Syrup
What it is

The strawberries themselves are typically soft and tender due to the preservation process. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy the flavor of strawberries year-round, even when fresh ones are out of season.

You can use these strawberries directly from the container. Drain them slightly if you prefer less syrup, or use the syrup as part of the recipe. They are excellent stirred into yogurt or whipped cream. They can also be gently heated to create a warm fruit sauce for pancakes or waffles. The syrup itself can be used to sweeten drinks or as a base for glazes. Their soft texture makes them easy to incorporate into baked goods.
