Anjou
Flavor Profile Abundant juice and sweet flavor when ripe. Anjou pears do not change color as they ripen.
Anjou pears—also known as Green Anjou or D’Anjou—are one of the most familiar and versatile pear varieties. With a juicy, smooth texture and subtle sweetness, they’re great fresh and just as tasty baked, roasted, or tossed into salads.
They pair well with a wide range of flavors—from crisp white wines to rich, malty stouts. For an easy crowd-pleaser, add Anjou slices to a cheese board with goat cheese, Brie, and Parmesan crisps for a balanced mix of creamy, salty, and sweet.
