Doyenné du Comice

The Doyenné du Comice pear, also known as the “queen of pears,” more than lives up to its name. With its stunning looks and deliciously sweet flavour, this pear truly has it all! It’s beautifully round with a smooth, yellow-green skin that often blushed red on the sun-warmed side. A perfect dessert pear, it’s celebrated for its rich, aromatic notes.

Ripeness

Optimal ripeness is essential for the Doyenné du Comice pear. Be sure to sell it only once its skin has turned a beautiful yellow-green and it yields slightly when you give it a gentle squeeze. That way, customers can enjoy the pear’s full, sweet flavour and juicy texture.
