Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is autochthonous to Portugal, in particular, it is found in the Madeira and Algarve regions. Research into genetic diversity has established that the name «Espelho» serves as a synonym for the «Três ao Prato» variety.

The fruits of the variety are characterized by a large size and a pronounced sour taste. The variety demonstrates reduced susceptibility to fire blight (Erwinia amylovora). It is traditionally used for fresh consumption and can also be used in local production, including cider making.
