Pears – Williams

The flesh of a Williams Pear  is aromatic, moist, cream-coloured to ivory, and is fine-grained encasing a central core containing a few small, black-brown seeds. When mature but not fully ripe, Williams pears are crunchy, tart, and slightly gritty, but when fully ripe, they develop a juicy, smooth, buttery texture with a sweet flavour. The thin skin brightens as it ripens, transforming from green to a golden yellow, and is smooth and firm with some blushing and russeting.
