The Mardi Gras™ pear is back. First hitting the scene in the spring of 2023, this pear is about juicy bites balanced with a smooth, buttery finish.
"The Mardi Gras pear has the consistent juicy, succulent and moreish flavor that I seek out when enjoying a pear,” says Cat Gipe-Stewart, marketing director at Superfresh Growers®. “We are excited to once again offer this exquisite, unique pear variety to consumers."
Last season, the pear was presented in a fresh variety for U.S. consumers. Its roots trace back to Europe's favorite pear, the Conference pear, which makes up 53 percent of EU pear production and is steadily rising in demand.

Mardi Gras Pear, renowned for its mix of flavors and confetti-like russet, comes into season as the winter chill gives way to the warmth of spring. This pear has a distinct appearance of vivid green and gold russet.
“In this week of Mardi Gras celebrations, we will be celebrating with this pear. The holiday is a time of celebrating good food, good people and good music,” says Gipe-Stewart.
Superfresh Growers offers this exclusive variety to current and prospective pear shoppers.
