Pears - Packham

Details

Packham pears are a classic green pear variety known for their crisp texture, juicy flesh and naturally sweet flavour.

When first picked, they are firm and refreshing with a clean crunch. As they ripen, the flesh becomes softer and even sweeter while still holding their distinctive pear flavour.

These pears are ideal for fresh eating, slicing into salads, adding to lunchboxes or pairing with cheese. Many customers love them for their consistent quality and the way their flavour holds as they ripen.

Approx 7 pears per kg.

Storage

Packham pears are best stored at room temperature while they ripen.

If your pears arrive firm, leave them on the bench for a few days until they soften slightly and develop their full sweetness.

Once ripe, pears can be stored in the refrigerator to extend freshness.
