This variety is one of the most widely grown Asian apple pears in the world.
This extraordinary flavored 20th Century Asian pear was first discovered in 1898 as a chance seedling in Matsudo City, Japan. This variety is one of the most widely grown Asian apple pears in the world. The fruit has a delicate, blemish-free, golden yellow skin that our Hood River, Oregon grower hand-wraps individually and packs in a convenient 4-count cell for protection against bruising.

These crisp and juicy pears have a complex flavor that begins with notes of vanilla-butterscotch and then finishes with a refreshingly pleasant tartness. Japanese 20th Century pears make an excellent hand snack, adds flavor and crunch to salads and pairs extremely well with tart cheeses. Product of Oregon.
