Choosing The Best d’Anjou Pears

Flavor & Texture

Tangy, refreshing, with a hint of lemon-lime, d’Anjou pears offer a subtle sweet pear flavor.. A dense yet smooth flesh when ripe provides a satisfying juicy bite.

Appearance & Character

D’Anjou pears are recognized by their classic egg shaped form and bright green skin. Unlike many pears, they don’t change color as they ripen, instead softening from the inside out. Check the neck of the pear for ripeness and once it gives slightly, it will be ready to eat. Their familiar look and steady quality give them timeless appeal.
