Dix Farms Anjou Pears

Anjou pears, also known as the "d'Anjou" pear, are a variety of pear that are known for their round, bulbous shape and smooth, green skin. They have a slightly sweet and mild flavor, and a firm yet juicy texture. They are typically picked when they are still slightly underripe and will ripen at room temperature. They are a great choice for eating fresh, as well as for cooking and baking. They are often used in salads, as well as in desserts such as tarts, pies and cobblers. They are also great for preserving and canning. They are a winter pear variety, typically available from October to May.
