Bosc’s flesh is firm and dense when ripe, holding its structure and smooth texture. They offer a mildly sweet, warm flavor with hints of fall spices like cinnamon.
Bosc pears are easily recognized by their long necks and russet brown skin. Their matte finish and classic shape give them a rustic, elegant look.
This pear is prized for cooking, poaching and baking. It’s also delicious to eat fresh when ripe and pair beautifully with sharp cheeses, spices, and savory dishes.
We harvest Bosc pears in Washington every September, and they are available in stores through spring.
