Originally a French variety and nicknamed ‘the Prince of Pears’ it is one of the sweetest types of pear, Delicate skin gives way to a creamy delicious flesh and a sweet flavour.
The delicate nature of this fruit doesn’t make it great for cooking but it is stunning if peeled and poached in juice or wine, the perfect match with a good soft Brie, perhaps this is what the French intended.
