About this product

Description

The Conference pear is a variety that is highly regarded for its sweet flavour and versatile culinary applications. Originating from Italy, these pears are known for their distinct appearance and texture. The pears are medium to large in size and have a narrow, rounded base that tapers to a long and thin neck, which is connected to a green-brown stem. The skin is mottled and thick, with a green colour and patches of brown russeting, which transforms into a pale yellow hue when the pear is ripe.
  • The flesh of the Conference pear is ivory to cream-coloured and has a fine-grained, soft, and moist texture. When fully ripe, these pears are crisp and juicy, with a melting consistency that makes them a delight to eat.
  • Conference pears are versatile and can be used in a variety of raw and cooked applications. They are great for baking, roasting, and poaching, and can be served fresh in leafy green salads, fruit salads, or sliced on top of pancakes, oatmeal, and pudding. 
  • They also make a great addition to a cheese plate, where they can be displayed and enjoyed as a sweet snack.
