De Sang is a traditional culinary pear originating from northern France and Belgium.
It gets its name from the flesh, which turns a dull red colour during cooking.
The pears are relatively small but produced in great abundance.
Next deliveries: January - February 2025
Let me know when De Sang pear trees are back in stock.
If you do not hear from us by March you can contact us to pre-order for next autumn.
While you can gently cook dessert pears, their sweet soft flesh can become simply bland in the kitchen. If you want to really cook with pears you need to use dedicated culinary varieties. These typically have very hard dense flesh, with strong but not particularly palatable flavours when eaten raw. The application of heat - typically by baking, poaching, or stewing - transforms and brings out their flavours.
