Description
An exceptional selection of generously sized 5L and 6L La France pears, carefully chosen by experienced growers in Yamagata. With their impressive size and elegant appearance, these premium pears offer a beautiful expression of Japan’s celebrated “Queen of Western Pears” — ideal for gifting or enjoying on special occasions.
La France is treasured for its remarkably silky, melting texture and rich, honeyed fragrance. Once perfectly ripened, its delicate flesh becomes exceptionally smooth and juicy, releasing a refined sweetness and elegant aroma with every bite.
Unlike ordinary pears, La France develops its finest flavour after harvest. Carefully ripened over time, its firm flesh gradually transforms into the soft, fragrant texture that makes this variety so distinctive. The art of knowing precisely when to enjoy it is part of its exceptional appeal.
Yamagata is Japan’s leading La France-producing region, with a cultivation history dating back to 1903. Generations of growers have refined their cultivation and ripening techniques, establishing the region’s reputation for outstanding La France pears.
Selected for their impressive 5L–6L size by growers who understand the fruit, these premium La France pears bring together generous presentation, delicate sweetness and an unforgettable melting texture.
