Azure Market Produce Pears, Comice, Organic

The Doyenne du Comice pear, commonly known as Comice, is considered to be one of the sweetest and juiciest pears.  It has more of a silky smooth texture- less grainy, with a blush of red, and a slightly more rounded figure.  It was first cultivated in France in the mid-1800's, and is one of the four most cultivated varieties today.  

It can easily be used for cooking, but is sought after for its luxurious palatability straight out of hand!  

Comice is a winter pear variety, and stores well when kept cold (in the low 30's Fahrenheit)- up to 3-5 months.  They actually continue their ripening process (slowly) while being chilled.  When you are ready to eat or prepare them, just pull them out of cold storage for a day or two to finish up the process- even put in a bag with a ripe apple or banana to speed along, if necessary
