d'Anjou Pear

Anjou pears are thought to have originated in France, in the vicinity of Angers. The variety was introduced to England early in the 19th century. Called Beurré d' Anjou, they were introduced to America in about 1842. The name has been shortened simply to "Anjou."

The most important fact to understand about Anjou pears is that they do not change color as they ripen. Unlike Bartletts, another familiar green pear variety that does change to yellow during ripening, Green Anjous will remain green even when fully ripe. Their skin is yellow-green or light green, and they have tender, juicy flesh that is less granular than other types.
