Ristoris peach halves in light syrup come in the professional 3/1 tin: 2,650 g net weight, 1,460 g drained, packed in cartons of 6 tins. Choice-grade peaches are peeled, pitted and halved, then covered in a light syrup that locks in sweetness, colour and texture. The result is ripe, ready-to-plate peach quality available to professional kitchens in every season, with no peeling, no waste and a stable cost per portion.
What Are Peach Halves in Light Syrup
Peach halves in syrup are one of the great classics of the European pastry pantry: fully ripened peaches processed after harvest, peeled, pitted, halved and pasteurised in tins with water and sugar. The light syrup designation means a lower sugar concentration than traditional heavy syrup, so the natural aroma of the fruit stays in the foreground. Citric acid balances acidity and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) protects the bright yellow colour, with no preservatives needed thanks to heat pasteurisation.

The catalogue is built for chefs, pizzerias and caterers, raw materials are selected with preference for Italian origin, and production sites operate under ISO, BRC and IFS certifications. These peach halves carry the Ristoris code 015084 and come from Choice-category raw material, distinguished by intense yellow colour, rich and juicy pulp and a regular, even shape.
Organoleptic Characteristics
Intense yellow colour, sweet and balanced flavour with a delicate acidity, and a tender yet compact flesh that holds its shape when sliced, baked or grilled. The light syrup is clear and clean-tasting: it can be reused in pastry work instead of being discarded.

Professional Uses in the Kitchen
- Peach Melba: the classic created by Auguste Escoffier: one peach half, vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce, ready in under 2 minutes per serving.
- Baked tarts and crostata: drain the halves for 20-30 minutes, slice and arrange on frangipane or custard; the compact flesh holds its shape in the oven at 180 °C.
- Cheesecake and semifreddo: blend the drained fruit into a smooth purée for toppings, inserts and coulis without any cooking.
- Hotel breakfast and buffet: serve chilled in their syrup; one tin covers about 14 fruit portions of 100 g.
- Bar and beverage: blend with ice for smoothies and peach-based drinks, and use the light syrup to sweeten iced tea.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Baking the halves without draining them first: excess syrup makes tart bases soggy. Always drain 20-30 minutes in a colander.
- Storing leftovers in the opened tin: once opened, always transfer fruit and syrup to a food-grade container before refrigerating.
- Throwing the syrup away: it is ideal for soaking sponge cake, glazing fruit tarts or sweetening cold drinks.
Storage
Store the unopened tin in a cool, dry place away from heat sources and direct light. After opening, transfer the contents to a suitable container, refrigerate at 0-4 °C and use within a few days. As an ambient product it requires no cold chain, which makes it perfect for stock planning and full-pallet purchasing.
