A Gift InsideDessert Pears Deluxe Fruit Gift

Fantastic! I want to send it to my kids

I wasn’t sure what to expect with this order. However, I was very pleased with the product I received. As advertised, there were nine beautiful well packaged pieces of fruit. If you need a nice gift for someone, I can highly recommend this producer. The pears were perfectly ripened and ready to enjoy. The flavor and texture of the fruit was perfect! Be sure to have plenty of napkins near, as they are quite juicy, too! These pears may be a little pricey, but I feel they were well worth the seasonal expenditure.

These are definitely NOT Comice pears. I have been eating Comice pears for several decades, and these are very clearly D'Anjou pears (admittedly pretty ones but not worth $30+) which I could buy at any local supermarkets. I intended to treat myself to some pears as I live in the Great Plains now, but lived in the NW for 30 years and had easy access to Comice pears in season every year. Imagine my disappointment on opening the box and finding all these pretty-but-completely-wrong pears!I saw the same on another review, and think the company really needs to get their act together, because any grower of Comice pears ought to have no trouble telling them from D'Anjou! The shape is different, the color is different, the skin is different and, most of all, the aroma and taste are COMPLETELY different.FOLLOW UP NOTE: I took my complaint to Amazon, and they had another box shipped to me; the second box did contain actual Comice pears. Later on, I noticed that the seller had added a comment on the page that they may substitute other pears. But d'Anjou pears sell for $1-2 per lb, and are commonly available even in the Great Plains, while Comice are not only more expensive but much more difficult to obtain outside of the NW. I'd never knowingly spend $30 on 9 d'Anjou pears! I think the seller should restrict the shipping to the season in which they can really ship Comice pears, rather than substituting an inferior variety during off-season.FWIW, for those who do receive Comice pears: Comice pears have a very thin skin and so bruise easily, are more yellow when ripe than d'Anjou, have a stronger flavor, and are extremely juicy (if you cut a ripe one with a knife, it will drip.) When Comice first became available, it was common to have them for dessert, eaten with a spoon. They are far softer than most ripe pears, so unsuitable for cooking but fabulous for eating in-hand.

Good Price! Good Product! Always great quality! We only eat : Anjou Pears 🍐! Delicious 😋! Presentation delightful! Perfect EVERY TIME 👍😋! Thanks Amazon!!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

We had high hopes for these Comice pears. Comice pears are my wife's favorite. The package arrived promptly and was well packed. The quality of the pears was inconsistent. Some were ripe and ready to eat. Some were not. Some had marvelous flavor, and some were bland. I would not recommend.

Our family grew up getting pears at Christmas from a well known company. We gave five boxes of these pears to our extended family this year. Each person let us know how perfect these pears were. And the cost, with Prime shipping is less than half of what it would have cost to have the same size boxes from the name brand company shipped all over the country.

I bought these as a substitute for Harry and David's Royal RIveria Pears.They are quite suitable.While they are not exactly the same, they are comparable and I highly recommend them. They are sweet, delicious, and arrive ripe. They are not quite as big nor as elegantly tasty as Harry and David "magic," but they are far more affordable. I gifted them to myself, but would definitely send them as a gift to anyone else any other day.

I already love pears. Just the basic pears you can get at the grocery store. And almost anything pear flavored. Then I stumbled across these pears which were apparently even better somehow. I didn't understand how that was possible, at least in a particularly noticeable way, but I though I would give it a try and worse case scenario I would have spent more money on pears that taste about the same as what I've always had.Then these babies came in the mail. They are the. best. pears. I have had. in. my. life. I cannot begin to convey to you how amazingly delectable they are. Somehow they are soft, and they have the best texture in the existence of food. I felt like I was eating something that couldn't possibly be healthy at all, yet it is an unaltered piece of fruit.This is like nothing you would find in a store. I feel that it would be a disservice to humanity to not share how these changed my life. Even if you don't like pears, you would be crazy not to love these. I plan on buying these as random gifts as well as to treat myself more and more in the future. If you are even considering purchasing these, just do yourself a favor and put them in your cart now. If they are a gift, get yourself some too.
