Conference Pear

A Conference pear is a variety of pear. It is an autumn cultivar (cultivated variety) of the European Pear (Pyrus communis). This variety of pear was developed in Britain. It owes its name to the fact that it won first prize at the National British Pear Conference in London in 1885.

A medium-sized pear with an elongated bottle shape, the 'Conference' pear is similar in appearance to the Bosc Pear. A table pear, it is suitable for fresh-cut processing. The fruit skin is thick greenish-brown, becoming pale yellow when ripe. The flesh is white, but turns pale yellow when the pear is ripe. The texture is very fine and soft, and the flavour is sweet. The brown part of the skin is called russet or russetting; it is more or less apparent depending on weather conditions.
