Description:

Pears fall into two different classes. The familiar European type has the typical pear shape its flesh is soft and succulent, its skin yellow or red. Asian pears are generally round (the exception being the newcomer, Yali), with green-yellow or russet skin and crunchy flesh. Forelle Pears are one of the lesser-known commercial European pears. Forelle are a very old variety, and are thought to have originated sometime in the 1600′ s in northern Saxony, Germany. The name Forelle translates to mean ” trout” in the German language. It is believed that the variety earned this name because of the similarity between the pear’ s brilliant red lenticles and the colors of a Rainbow trout.
When ripe, their skin is a beautiful golden color with a dark red flush on one side of the pear. Their grainy flesh is crisp, with a fresh, perfumy flavor that goes well with cheese, but they are at their best when cooked.
