What is the difference between a Comice Pear and a Bartlett Pear?

Pears are nature’s perfect snack: sweet, juicy, and packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C and fiber. Whether you enjoy them solo or incorporate them into your favorite dishes, pears are a versatile and delicious addition to any diet.

Hale Groves offers two exceptional pear varieties: Bartlett and Comice. Each has its unique characteristics, making it easy to find the perfect pear to suit your taste preferences.

Bartlett Pears: The Classic Crunch

Bartlett pears are the quintessential pear, known for their classic flavor and juicy texture. With a bright, green-yellow skin that ripens to a golden hue, these pears are perfect for both sweet and savory dishes. Enjoy them sliced in salads, grilled cheese sandwiches, or wrapped in prosciutto for an elegant appetizer. Their versatility makes them a kitchen staple.

Comice Pears: Decadent and Sweet

Comice pears are often hailed as the “queen of pears” for their exceptional sweetness and buttery texture. With a round shape and soft flesh, these pears are perfect for enjoying on their own or pairing with cheese and wine. Their delicate flavor makes them a luxurious treat.
