ORGANIC Pear Abate Fetel Armut (1 each)

Organic Pear,Abate Fetel Pear, Armut.

The Abate Fetel or Abbé Fetel is a cultivar of the European Pear. Originally of France, it was obtained by the abbot Fetel – hence the name – who started working on it in 1865, when he was the priest of Chessy, Rhône, and using several local cultivars as a starting point.

Tall and slim with an attractive yellowish brown russet over green exterior, it has a rich sweet taste that is much more pronounced than the more common Anjou and Bartlett varieties. Usually eaten when just barely soft, the Abate Fetel pear has a slightly crisp yet melting texture.
