Introduction
The Santa Maria pear is a unique hybrid variety, offering a creamy white flesh and a succulent, sweet taste.
History
The Santa Maria Pear originated in Italy. This variety was first cultivated at the University of Florence, Italy, by Alessandro Moretinni - a known breeder. The Santa Maria pear variety is a result of hybridisation between the Coscia pear and the Old Williams pear. The Santa Maria was first sold in 1951.
Regions
While its origins lie in Italy, the cultivation of Santa Maria Pears has expanded to various regions across the globe, including places like Turkey, Portugal, Spain, and Italy.
Flavours & Texture
Santa Maria Pears are loved for their exquisite flavour profile and texture. They offer an aromatic flesh with a sweet, slightly tart flavour, and a succulent, crisp, juicy texture that melts in the mouth.
