Specially grown in the Webster Family Orchards, the Webster Comice Pear is among the sweetest and juiciest of all pears. This French variety was first propagated as Doyenne du Comice near Angers in the mid-1800s, and is ideally suited to the volcanic soils of the Hood River Valley. Described by the Websters as the premier eating pear or by Grandpa Webster as the Cadillac of pears, The Fruit Company delivers fresh, beautiful, jumbo-sized Comice each harvest to consumers around the country.

They have a beautiful appearance, most often green in color and oftentimes having a red blush covering small to large areas of the skin surface. Comice come in all sizes but their shape is unique among other varieties, having a rotund body with a very short, well-defined neck.

The sweet buttery flesh of the Comice world renowned. It makes a perfect match for fine cheeses, but true Comice aficionados enjoy them perfectly ripened and freshly sliced, if not spooned directly from a cut half. They are so juicy when ripe (always remember to wait until the area around the stem gives to gentle pressure!) that you need a pile of napkins and a fair amount of slurping. In other words, the perfect pear.
Its season is shorter than other pear varieties, being harvested in late autumn and lasting in cold storage until about mid-January. Enjoy the Webster Comice while you can!
