JunoSan Asian Pear Gift Box

Asian Pears make for an exquisite and delicious holiday gift! This fruit is remarkably crisp, juicy, and sweet – quite distinct from European varieties like Bosc or Anjou or the American Bartlett. Asian Pears are best enjoyed when served fresh and peeled.

Tasting Notes:
JunoSan pears are crunchy, with complex flavors ranging from Bartlett pears and Honeycrisp apples to Mandarin oranges, especially when tasted without the skin. Moreover, the taste spans two opposite flavor profiles: honey nut and top-shelf tequila, which, when combined, make one delectable Asian Pear to bite into. With yellow lenticels (freckles) dotting its bright orange skin, JunoSan pears are reminiscent of a caramel apple with crushed peanuts on top. These unique pears are hand-picked and tree-ripened; shipped directly from the orchard and ready to eat upon arrival.

Joel Spira, a successful inventor, first tasted Asian Pears during a business trip in the 1970s and was so enchanted he carried home the seeds for his wife, Ruth Rodale Spira, a botanist, to plant in their backyard, starting this legendary pear farm. Grown by Subarashii Kudamono (“Wonderful Fruit” in Japanese) in Kempton, Pennsylvania, the orchard’s sumo-sized Asian pears are admired for their super crisp taste and firmness — not to mention their large size.
