Appearance & Character

Concorde pears are recognized by their long, slender necks and bright green skin. They retain their green color as they ripen, softening from the inside out. Their shape and smooth finish give them a distinct, polished look.

Best Uses of Concorde Pears

These pears are excellent for both fresh eating and cooking. Concorde’s firm texture makes it ideal for slicing, roasting, and baking, while its sweetness shines when eaten on its own.
