Specifications & Details

Product Description

Kowsar County (Givi) in Ardabil Province is internationally celebrated as a prime alpine microclimate for superior quince production. Fed by pure mountain runoff from Mount Sabalan and flourishing in mineral-rich soil, IRANCO Organic Kowsar Ardabil Quince develops an exceptional flavor profile marked by higher natural Brix, refined mild acidity, and a noticeably softer astringency.

The cold alpine climate produces a delicate yet crisp flesh and glossy skin with minimal fuzz, rendering it highly appealing for premium table consumption across European and Gulf markets. IRANCO applies rigorous optical sorting, size grading, and padded protective packaging to preserve its fresh orchard aroma during long-distance delivery.
