The Conference pear is a long pear with a light to moderate bronzed skin. It’s a very popular pear in many countries, which means that it is often exported. It’s unique thanks to its long shape and can be stored all year round.
Flavour
The flavour is mild and sweet. It’s a crunchy fruit, but can also be eaten soft when it’s a bit riper. This pear definitely deserves a place in any good kitchen.
The Corina pear is the same pear as the Conference, but it ripens three weeks earlier and so is available as early as the end of July, beginning of August. It’s sold exclusively for export by Bel’Export.
