Marketing - Food & Dairy / Fruit | | Spanish term or phrase: pavía | SPAIN: A peach or nectarine variety, I don't know if there is an English name for it, can't find one anywhere.
"Prunus persica, el melocotonero[1] (en España) o duraznero (en Hispanoamérica) es un árbol frutal caducifolio originario de China, transportado a occidente primero por los persas y luego por los romanos.
Su fruto, llamado principalmente durazno, también conocido coloquialmente como melocotón, piesco, ectarina o pelón, contiene una única y gran semilla encerrada en una cáscara dura. Esta fruta, de piel aterciopelada, posee una carne amarilla o blanquecina de sabor dulce y su aroma es delicado.
Los durazneros, junto con las cerezas, ciruelas y damascos son frutas de hueso llamadas drupas. Esta especie se divide en variedades cuya carne se separa fácilmente del hueso prescos y en otras que se adhieren firmemente a él, como la variedad llamada ***pavía***. Las variedades de carne blanca son típicamente muy dulces, con escaso gusto ácido..." |

I just realised that this also makes sense because your text says "cuya carne se separa fácilmente del hueso prescos y en otras que se adhieren firmemente a él como la variedad llamada ***pavía***.
Clingstone is quite a literal translation of this description :)

Asker: Was just about to remove the query, as I found this just after posting. Nobody I know has ever heard of this, although "cling" peaches are quite well-known to the Brits I've asked so far, who all think of them as tinned, in syrup.
Asker: It wasn't in the glossary, it'll be going in soon ;) Thanks Emma, have a nice day (it's scorching hereabouts already...)
