Red d’Anjou

Red d’Anjou pears offer a mild, sweet and brisk flavor with a very smooth texture. When ripe, their flesh becomes juicy and tender. Subtle citrus notes make this variety balanced for both fresh eating and cooking.

Red d’Anjou pears stand out with their deep burgundy to crimson skin and classic egg shaped form. Unlike some pears, they don’t change color as they ripen, but soften from the inside out. Check the neck of the pear for ripeness and once it gives slightly, it will be ready to eat.

These pears are excellent for both fresh eating and cooking. They slice well for salads, hold their shape in baking, and bring subtle sweetness to savory dishes. Their steady texture makes them a dependable choice in the kitchen.

Red d’Anjou pears are harvested in October and are available from fall through spring.
