Pears

Kaiser

My name is Kaiser otherwise known as Emperor Alexander, a pompous name with a very ancient flavour. I have French origins and was discovered for the first time at the beginning of the 1800s, in the forest of Apremont in Haute Savoie. Like some of my sisters, I left France for the Po Valley and for other parts of the world where I found fertile, welcoming plains. I have a large and fairly elongated shape and am firmly attached to the trees that grow me on a long and strong stalk. I have a concrete, strong character but like to step aside until September when I ripen and everyone who has been waiting can finally meet me. What makes me stand out from the others is my distinctive completely rusty colour, a nice brown which can almost become golden in the sun, making me look really precious. My flesh, which is grainy, is also unique, just like my sweet and really good flavour.

Abate Fétel


I’m called Abate Fétel, I was born in France and was named after an abbot (Abbé Fétel) who discovered me in the mid-1800s. I’ve lived in Italy for a long time, in a luxuriant plain between Emilia-Romagna and Veneto which has become my home. I’m tall and my harmonious shape is like a ballerina stretching up on her toes to try and touch the sky. People who know me well know that I have a strong and decisive character but, at the same time, I know how to give the right amount of sweetness. My ideal dress is a nice green - yellow rusty colour and sometimes, even if I’m not shy, I can blush as I let myself get a bit too sun kissed. I don’t need make-up or perfume as I’m naturally beautiful and pleasantly aromatic. I know I’m unique, which is why I’m known as the Queen of pears, and that’s because I live in a plain where I’m born and can grow with respect for everything around me and in the awareness that I can go a long way to be discovered, eaten and loved.

Conference

I’m called Conference and my name has an unusual and prestigious origin. In 1885, the year I was born, I won first prize in the National British Pear Conference in London. From then on I did a lot of travelling before reaching Emilia-Romagna where I was discovered and loved from 1950 onwards. I found my home here in a place where I can grow with all the necessary care and an ideal climate. I have a conical and elongated shape and a very long stalk as if I were constantly trying to grasp something, maybe a sunbeam. I am rough and may seem grumpy, but I have an unexpected hidden sweetness that only those who choose to eat me know well. My dress is green-yellow, with extensive rusty parts that can seem almost bronze and my flavour is intense, perfumed and juicy. In fact, it's a pleasure to bite into me and let me dissolve slowly on the palate. I love autumn, when people start harvesting me, but also winter as I can rest happily for a long time and be enjoyed until January.

Doyenne du Comice

My name is Doyenne du Comice but almost everyone simply calls me Doyenne. Oui, I’m French and my strange name comes from the place where I was discovered, in 1849: the Comice Horticole fruit garden of Maine-et-Loire, in the Loire region.  Now I live permanently in the Po Valley but I love exploring new places and meeting people who can get to know me and appreciate me.
The most striking thing about me is definitely my unusual and let’s say original shape. I’m round, actually the roundest out of all my sisters and one of the largest. But this ruddy appearance shouldn’t fool you - I’m delicate and need to be treated with great care, especially when I’m completely ripe. I wear a green dress with lenticels that are sometimes rusty and very clear and reddish stripes that appear when I'm exposed to the sun. I’m juicy, nicely sweet and excellent to bite into from mid-September, when I’m harvested and for most of the winter, when I fill the coldest days with flavour. pera Decana Del Comizio caratteristiche

Max Red Barlett

I’m called Max Red Barlett but people often call me Red William. It’s not exactly a nickname but a tribute to my older sister who contributed to my birth and with whom I have a lot in common. I’m actually her American sister as I was born in a large city in the USA, Washington, in 1938. Sometimes I’d like to be discrete and go unnoticed like William, but I’m very flashy and people can’t help notice me among the others. My shape is medium-sized, roundish and balanced, but it is the colour of my dress that is really eye-catching. Red, actually bright red, with a touch of rusty yellow. When I’m ripe, at the beginning of August, I literally shine through the green leaves on the trees and my sweet flesh, which melts in the mouth, reaches its highest sugar content. From then on I can be harvested and, like my big sister, I’m perfect for being made into juices and preserves. I hope I’ll be as famous as her one day. Maybe I’ll be a real star.
