Poire de Sang is one of the most distinctive regional cooking pears. Its small, tangy, juicy and aromatic fruit becomes fine and melting when cooked while developing its characteristic reddish colour. It ripens in early autumn and shows useful resistance to pear scab. We would plant it to recreate a specific local culinary tradition rather than as an ordinary multipurpose pear.
