Description
“Shipova” Pears are actually a centuries-old hybird of Mountain Ash and Pear which originated in Yugoslavia. They are a small, Asian-shaped pear, with yellow flesh (but without the grit of European pears); crispy at first, then sweeter as they soften.
Grown by Smith River Organic Farm (Smith River) and “Registered Organic” in California – a special certification program meant specifically for small growers. Sold by the pint (approximately 4-6 fruits, at about 3/4 pound).
