Bosc pears are a firm variety that retains its shape even while cooking. The white inner flesh is sweet, crunchy, with notes of vanilla and honey. Due to its denseness, these pears are popular for baking and poaching.
Bosc pears only require a few days at room temperature to ripen. The skin remains brown and firm (contrary to most pears which soften), but will have slight wrinkles near the stem.
