Although produced in less volume than Bartletts or Anjous, Bosc are almost as well known.
Bosc pears are an elegant variety with distinctive characteristics that set them apart from other pears, including firm, tender flesh and a sweet-spiced flavor.
You can't judge a pear by its skin. Those who have not tried Bosc are often surprised at the delicious taste and texture hidden by its brown skin.
