Conference: the queen of Flanders' pear varieties.

Flanders offers a small but high quality range of pears.
This slim, bottle-shaped pear is small to medium in size. The fruit is green-brown in colour and light yellow when ripe. The fruit flesh is white but turns more yellow as it ripens. The taste is very refined, sweet and juicy. Thanks to optimum storage techniques, Conference pears are available in excellent quality almost all year round.

The queen Conference (production: 112.000 tons) is accompanied by a distinguished suite, the Doyenne du Comice (production: 20.000 tons) and Durondeau (production: 12.000 tons).

All Belgian pears are cultivated according to fully integrated processes.

Durondeau.

When picked, this pear has a rough, dark green skin with a brown-red bloom. When it ripens, it takes on a warm gold-coloured skin. The fruit flesh is white and has a characteristic flavour.

Use: table and cooking pear.

If this pear is picked in September, it is only to be used in the kitchen. From October, however, it is an excellent dessert pear.

Doyenné du Comice.

This is a well-rounded pear with a short stalk and a yellow-green colour with a brown-red bloom. The fruit flesh is white. This exceptionally juicy pear has a very sweet taste. All these properties make it the "queen of pears".
