FUN FACTS & TIPS

Tottori pears are farmed with great care and attention to detail in order to create strikingly large, gorgeous pears. The grower delicately hand-pollinates each flower at first. Each pear is wrapped in a waxed paper bag as it matures to protect it from pests and the weather as it grows.

When the pears reach full maturity and are juicy and delicious, they are picked by hand in September and packaged in individual recycled mesh stockings to preserve their delicate skin from damage during shipment to markets throughout the world.
