Bosc
Flavor Profile Highly aromatic and flavorful pear with dense flesh. Brown in color, Bosc often russets and does not change color as it ripens.
- Bosc pears are known for their firm, dense flesh, making them a go-to for baking and roasting. They hold their shape beautifully under heat, while their naturally spiced, nutty flavor pairs well with rich ingredients and bold seasonings. They're especially great for poaching, holding their own next to warm spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg. Bosc also pairs well with full-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon or bold Italian reds like Barbaresco.
For a savory option, serve them with cheeses like Pecorino Romano, aged cheddar, or Manchego to bring out their depth and complexity.
