Australian Packham Pear (1pc)

An Australian Packham pear, also known as Packham's Triumph, is the country's most iconic and widely grown pear variety. It's a medium to large, sweet-flavored fruit known for its distinctive bumpy appearance and juicy, white flesh.

The Packham pear is easily recognizable by its unique shape and texture.

• Shape & Size: It has a stout, irregular shape with a bulbous, wide bottom that tapers to a smaller, rounded neck. The fruit is medium to large in size.

• Skin: The skin is green, often covered in dark spots, bumps, and patches of russeting. As it ripens, this bright green skin fades to a light green or pale yellow.

• Flesh: Inside, you'll find a creamy-white or ivory flesh that is fine-grained.

• Texture: When firm, the flesh is crisp, but it softens to a smooth, buttery, and "slippery" texture as it ripens.

• Flavor: It has a rich, sweet, and very juicy flavor, with some describing it as having mildly musky notes.

Packham pears are incredibly versatile in the kitchen.

• Fresh Eating: They are perfect for snacking fresh, slicing into salads, or serving on a cheese platter.

• Cooking: Their sweet flavor holds up well to heat, making them excellent for baking in tarts, poaching in red wine or vanilla syrup, or roasting. They can also be sautéed with butter and spices.

• Savory Dishes: They pair beautifully with savory ingredients like pork, walnuts, and blue cheese.
