A type of pear with a brownish-green skin, elongated shape, and firm, sweet flesh, popular in commercial cultivation.
Named after the Bosc pear, which originated in Europe (possibly Belgium or France) in the 19th century; the exact origin of the name 'Bosc' is uncertain.
Bosc pears are one of the few pears that actually improve in flavor after being picked and stored—they're firmer than most pears, so they hold up beautifully in cooking!
