Beurre Superfin

[French]

A medium, long, hard pear, growing up tp 65 mm (2½") which, when under-ripe, is green and lightly russeted all over, ripening to golden green. It has a tough skin but has firm yet sweet, very juicy flesh with a nice hint of acidity. The graininess so common in many pears is scarcely perceptible. This variety is too good for cooking and is excellent with cheese. It is ready from mid-October.
