The fruit comes in all colours - green, yellow, red and even black! With more than 2,000 species, the pear comes from the common pear tree (Pyrus communis L.) or the Chinese pear tree (Pyrus sinensis), a tree of the Rosaceae family. Known since ancient times, it is called ‘pirum’ in Latin. Its fragrance is like its flesh: grainy and juicy, crunchy and soft, velvety and slightly sweet.
