Packham Pears 

Australian Dessert Pears, Sweet & Juicy

Introduce the refined flavour of Australian-grown Packham pears to your pantry. These premium dessert pears feature a crisp green skin that softly turns to a pale yellow as they ripen. With creamy ivory flesh and a richly aromatic sweetness, they are a standout among Australian pear varieties. 

Grown locally and harvested at peak freshness, our Packham pears deliver a delightful juicy bite whether enjoyed fresh, sliced into salads, or baked into warm puddings. According to industry sources, the variety accounts for around 60% of Australia’s total pear production thanks to its versatility and consistent quality. 

Why you’ll love our Packham pears

• Sweet, aromatic flavour — These pears are celebrated for their rich, juicy taste and fine-grained, creamy texture.

• Boutique-ready — A refined presentation aligned with the Petits Trésors ethos of high-quality, Australian-made and sourced ingredients.

Usage and Serving Suggestions

Enjoy fresh: Choose pears that give slightly at the stem when ripe, and serve them simply with a slice of mature cheddar or a drizzle of local honey.

Bake or roast: Halve the pears and roast with a sprinkle of cinnamon and walnuts for an elegant dessert.

Salads and boards: Slice and layer among rocket salad with toasted pecans, blue cheese, and a light vinaigrette for a sweet-savory twist.

Pantry hero: Keep a few in your fruit bowl—they ripen gently at room temperature, then can be stored in the fridge for extended freshness.

Storage & Ripening Tips
Select pears that are firm but show a faint yellow tinge. Store at room temperature until the flesh yields gently at the stem end. Once ripe, refrigerate and use within a few days for optimal flavour and texture.
