The large Packhams Triumph pear is typical of pears, slightly bulbous in shape. Its lemon-yellow skin is slightly reddened on the sunny side.

The taste is similar to the Williams pear.

Like the apple, the pear is a pome fruit. There are different groups of varieties such as butter pears (juicy, melting flesh), bergamots (round shape), bottle pears (elongated), apothecary pears (irregular, melting), lard pears and others. Of the almost 2500 varieties of pears, the most well-known are: Abate Fetel, Alexander Lucas, Conference, Dr. Guyot, Limoneras, Santa Maria, Kaiser Alexander, Packham's Triumph, Rosemarie, Forelle, Beurre Bosc, Nashi and Williams Christ.

Origin

The pear is an ancient fruit whose origin lies in the Caucasus, Transcaucasia and Anatolia. Today, pears are grown worldwide. The main growing countries are France, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Chile, Argentina, South Africa, the USA and China. Imports from overseas enable a year-round supply with a peak in supply from August to October for European goods and February to July for overseas imports.

Preparation

Pears are mainly eaten raw. Pears are processed into compote, desserts and also cake toppings.

About the producers

For over 100 years, we at the family business "Sonnenobst Habeler" have been producing delicious fruits at the foot of the Rosalia Mountains in Wiesen, the oldest strawberry municipality in Austria.

They come from Styria and are packed with special care.

 

Schiefermüller family business:

We grow Williams, Williams Rot, Xenia, Red Queen, Bos's Bottle Pear and other experimental varieties.

Our business has been in existence since 1978 and is now in its 3rd generation.

Our growing area is characterized by the fact that we have large, slightly hilly, large, consolidated areas with excellent soils.

Very cool nights in autumn and the northern location help us to produce top-coloured and very good firm fruits.

Storage recommendation

Pears should not be stored in the refrigerator, but rather in dark, cool storage rooms.
