PASSE CRASSANE PEARS 1kg
Passe Crassane is a French pear variety originating from Rouen. The pear is medium to large in size and has russeted, greenish-yellow skin. The skin is thin and smooth, and the flesh is slightly coarse and grainy with a rosy blush to it, yet soft and juicy. The flavours are aromatic, fruity, and sweet-tart with floral notes.
Pears are considered to be Autumnal fruits, but the Passe Crassane is what is known as a ‘winter’ pear. The pears don’t actually get ripened on the tree. They are picked then ripened over winter. To stop the pear dehydrating by water escaping through the stem, each pear stem is dipped in wax.
Passe Crassane is available from late winter through spring. The pears are often used in baking, poaching, and roasting but work equally well when sliced and eaten solo or as an accompaniment to cheese in any fashion.
