Bosc Pears

This variety is one of the most widely grown Asian apple pears in the world.
This extraordinary flavored 20^th Century Asian pear was first discovered in 1898 as a chance seedling in Matsudo City, Japan. This variety is one of the most widely grown Asian apple pears in the world. The fruit has a delicate, blemish-free, golden yellow skin that our Hood River, Oregon grower hand-wraps individually and packs in a convenient 4-count cell for protection against bruising.

These crisp and juicy pears have a complex flavor that begins with notes of vanilla-butterscotch and then finishes with a refreshingly pleasant tartness. Japanese 20^th Century pears make an excellent hand snack, adds flavor and crunch to salads and pairs extremely well with tart cheeses. Product of Oregon.

Forelle pears are a very small, tasty heirloom variety with a history that can be traced to 17^th century Germany in origin. Forelle is German for “trout” – the name stems from the pear’s beautiful red blush over greenish yellow skin that is similar to the coloring of the rainbow trout. When ripe, the fruit texture is a little firmer than most other pears. This variety’s flavor is extra sweet with distinct cinnamon spice tones.

A favorite variety in holiday gift boxes and baskets due to its attractive red over green coloring, Comice have earned special recognition as the “Christmas Pear.” Their flesh is very soft, and can best be described as creamy in texture, abundantly full of juice, and very sweet.

Organic pears are grown with no chemical pesticides or fungicides and third party certified as being organically grown in accordance with the guidelines mandated by the USDA’s Organic Foods Production Act of 2002. Product of USA.

Choose fruit that is firm to firm ripe with no soft brown spots or mechanical cuts. Comice will ripen quickly at room temperature, but will keep for several weeks in refrigeration.
