Moscatella d'inverno Pear

PEARS / COLLECTION ORCHARD

Rediscovered in the area of Pietralunga. Late flowering and harvested in October, it can be stored for about two months. The fruit is small, round and flattened at the base; the skin remains green even when fully ripe, with numerous visible russeted lenticels. The flesh is white, glassy and rather granular. The stalk is of medium thickness and medium length. A winter variety, it is harvested and then left to soften in the fruit store, or used for cooking.
