We are in the land of citrus and almond trees, olive trees and prickly pear, but in Leonforte peaches are grown. Right here, in this village perched on a hill just north of Enna, every year, in June, is renewed a little fun: the peasants, armed with bags of parchment paper, close at hand, one by one on the shaft, peaches still green while doing thinning. A meticulous work for men only, which does not admit mistakes (in one day the faster it insacchettano more than 2000). Peaches in the bag ripen from August to October, sometimes even November. Closed in their packets they are protected from pests and wind and can remain on the tree until the last to be harvested only when they are perfectly ripe. Cultivation is laborious and delicate: dall'insacchettatura at harvest, when fruits are detached with a slight rotation of the petiole (trouble ripping). The fruits are not very showy; maturing and late in the bag, they become at most intense yellow with red streaks read, but they are always fragrant, with a yellow flesh, firm, sweet and a peculiar taste, vaguely reminiscent of candied.
