Lady of Pears “Le Lectier (Giftbox/2L-size/Farm-Direct)", A Golden Pear, 40 Days in the Making | Delivery: 27th~28th Nov

From the fertile lands along the Shinano River in Niigata Prefecture comes Le Lectier, an exceptionally fragrant French-origin pear, carefully cultivated by Yamayo Orchard in the renowned Shirone fruit-growing region.

Often called the "Lady of Pears" in Japan, Le Lectier is celebrated for its beautiful golden-yellow skin, luxurious aroma, and remarkably smooth, melting texture.

Unlike ordinary pears, Le Lectier requires extraordinary patience after harvest.

At Yamayo Orchard, each pear undergoes more than 40 days of natural ripening in a carefully managed environment. Rather than rushing the process, the growers closely monitor the fruit, sorting it according to its individual stage of ripeness to bring out its finest flavour.

The result is a truly distinctive experience: rich, honey-like sweetness, delicate floral fragrance, abundant juice, and incredibly silky flesh with almost none of the graininess commonly associated with pears.

With only a short seasonal window from late November to December, Le Lectier is a treasured winter delicacy and an exquisite gift.

More than just a pear — a golden expression of Niigata's craftsmanship, patience, and dedication to exceptional fruit.

Serve & Store

• Serving: Enjoy fresh to appreciate its exquisite aroma and melting sweetness. Peel, remove the core, and slice into wedges. Delicious on its own, lightly chilled, or paired with cheese and desserts.
• Ripeness: Look for golden-yellow skin, a rich, sweet fragrance, and a slightly yielding texture around the neck. Handle gently, as ripe Le Lectier pears are particularly delicate.
• Storage: Keep in a cool place away from direct sunlight and heat. If the fruit is still firm, allow it to finish ripening at a cool room temperature. Once ripe, refrigerate briefly if desired and enjoy as soon as possible.
