Forelle
The Forelle pear is a small variety with an attractive red blush, a luscious texture and complex flavor. The fruit is buttery, with a faint but discernible cinnamon spiciness. What it lacks in size, it more than compensates for on the tongue.
Bosc
Large, long-necked fruit that ripens to a greenish yellow, usually completely overlaid with a cinnamon-colored russet. This classic dessert pear is considered a fruit of choice. Its highly aromatic scent will help your home smell and feel like a holiday.
Red D’Anjou
Red Anjou pears are much like their green counterparts in all respects other than color. Their shape, flavor and texture are virtually identical. It’s their deep, rich, maroon color that sets this variety apart, particularly as a showy pear among pears in a fruit bowl or basket.
D’Anjou
The D’Anjou is a larger white-fleshed pear with abundant juice and a sweet brisk flavor. Anjou pears are thought o have originated in France, in the vicinity of Angers. Called Beurre d’Anjou, they were introduced to America in about 1842. The name has been shortened simply to “Anjou,” and is sometimes pronounced to rhyme with ’Banjo’ though it is still properly listed by its original French. Unlike Bartletts or Pachkams, Green Anjous will remain green even when fully ripe. Anjou pears have exceptional keeping qualities, but are best when sliced and eaten fresh.
Bartlett
An enormously popular pear, conspicuous for its attractive green skin, but with a typical pear shape. Demand for this variety is growing rapidly throughout the world. These pears are best when served ripe or stored in a refrigerator (ripe pears will keep for several days when refrigerated).
