The Comtat Venaissin remains the biggest production area in the Provence area. April ... Ciflorette and Garriguette strawberries are fully ripe and give off the delicate aromas of wild strawberries. These "early" strawberries have a long shape and are very flavourful. The Pajaro continues to grow until June, and is the strawberry which is grown the most. It is recognisable due to its dark red colour - almost purple - and its long, heart-shaped form. When there are no more strawberries left, you can enjoy the great strawberry products that are made here: Syrup of Carpentras strawberries, nectar made from Carpentras strawberries, jams made from Carpentras strawberries ... and more!
