"Yamagata La France (2L-size/Farm Direct)", The “Queen of Western Pears,” Silky-Melting & Richly Fragrant, Approx.400g(2pcs) | Delivery: 16th~17th Oct

Known as the “Queen of Western Pears,” La France is prized for a texture and aroma unlike ordinary pears. Once properly ripened, its flesh becomes remarkably smooth and melting, releasing abundant juice with an elegant, honeyed fragrance and refined sweetness.

La France is a fruit that develops its best flavour after harvest. It does not fully ripen on the tree; instead, careful post-harvest ripening allows its starches to convert into sugars, transforming the firm fruit into the soft, aromatic pear for which it is celebrated.

Yamagata is Japan’s leading La France-producing region, with cultivation dating back to 1903. Its cool climate, long sunshine hours and fertile soils have supported generations of specialised growing and ripening techniques, and Yamagata-grown fruit now represents around 80% of Japan’s La France market.

The result is a pear that rewards patience: silky flesh, dripping juice and a deep, sweet fragrance that opens fully only at perfect ripeness.

Serve & Store

Ripening: Keep at room temperature. It is ready when the skin around the stem begins to wrinkle, the stem starts to wither, and the area around it yields gently to pressure.
Serving: When fully ripe and fragrant, chill for 1–2 hours before eating. Cut just before serving to enjoy its melting texture and abundant juice at their best.
