Sampling ten types of pears here at the SAVEUR office, the differences in flavor and texture were surprisingly clear; each has its own personality: biting into the sweet, bright Green Anjou is a completely different experience from the almost overwhelmingly floral Starkrimson. Pears of all stripes are widely available in most food stores and markets across the country through fall and winter; here are ten of our favorites.
