Beurré Bosc

Beurré Bosc is a pear variety originating from Apremont and dating back to the early 1800s. The pear is easily recognized by its long, tapered neck and lengthy stalk. The white flesh is crisp and aromatic, while the flavors are sweet and spicy.

Beurré Bosc holds its shape well when it's baked or poached due to its firm flesh. The season of these pears starts in autumn and goes through spring. Interestingly, due to its shape and warm color, Beurré Bosc is often used in paintings, photography, and drawings.
