Bosc Pears

Melt-in-your-mouth texture with hints of vanilla and apple-blossom honey. Its slightly thick skin hides a creamy-crisp fruit with more tartness than other pears. The Bosc is known as the best cooking pear, and it's also at the top of our list for eating raw. Wait patiently for the Bosc to ripen and you'll be rewarded with a pear so perfect, it needs no accompaniment.
