Forelle Pears

Share

Beautiful, bite-sized Forelle pears from Chile are here for a limited time. Slightly bigger than a seckel pear, they average about 2.5-3 inches long. The red speckled skin turns from green to yellow as it ripens. They are ready to eat when the neck of the pear slightly gives to gentle pressure.  The flesh is denser than most pears and leaves behind remnants of cinnamon on your tongue. A perfect match for that cheese happy hour, think gruyere and manchego with fresh California table grapes.
