Dix Farms Seckle Pears

Dix Farms Seckle Pears are a celebration of heritage orchard fruit, prized by chefs and fruit enthusiasts alike for their petite size and complex flavor. Sourced as part of BoxNCase’s exclusive specialty produce collection, these pears are carefully selected at peak ripeness to ensure a ideal balance of sweetness and crisp texture. The Seckle, sometimes called the 'sugar pear,' stands apart for its naturally petite form and beautiful green-red blush, making it as visually striking as it is versatile in the kitchen.

Bite into a Seckle pear and you’ll discover a dense, honeyed flesh with subtle floral notes and a hint of spice. Their small size makes them ideal for elegant cheese boards, lunchbox snacks, or poaching whole for a refined dessert. The skin is thin and tender, requiring no peeling for most uses, and the flavor holds up beautifully whether served fresh, roasted, or preserved. These Seckle pears are a favorite among chefs for their ability to elevate both sweet and savory dishes, from salads with blue cheese and walnuts to spiced pear compotes.

Serve Dix Farms Seckle Pears simply sliced alongside aged cheeses and toasted nuts, or roast them with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an effortless yet sophisticated dessert. Their naturally sweet, aromatic profile also makes them an excellent addition to autumnal tarts or as a refined snack on their own.
