Pear - Conference
Country of Origin - Belgium
Introduction
Since its introduction, the Conference pear has become one of Europe’s most popular pear varieties. It holds a special place in British and European horticulture for its hardiness and exceptional flavour. Over the years, it has gained a reputation for its consistent quality and has become a favourite among chefs, commonly featured in both sweet and savoury dishes.
Regions
The Conference pear originated in England in the late 19th century and is named after the National British Pear Conference where it was first recognised in 1885. Today, this variety of pear is primarily grown in the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium, and it thrives in temperate regions across Europe due to its adaptability and high yield.
Flavours & Texture
The Conference pear has a sweet, juicy flavour with subtle hints of honey when fully ripe. Its flesh is tender and buttery, melting in the mouth, while the skin is slightly firm and russeted, giving it a rustic appearance. Its balanced sweetness and smooth texture make it perfect for fresh eating, baking, or poaching.
Preparation
Rinse the fruit and enjoy fresh.
