"The blanquilla pear - harvested in summer and available now"

"The fruit is harvested in late August and stored in atmospheric chambers, which were recently opened," said Lourdes Bague, Sales Director at Gys Fruit. This company has been engaged with this variety for only a short time, but they've known the product for more than 10 years and they are well aware that they have managed to avoid the cold front.

It is a delicate fruit that must be carefully transported to its destinations because any bump can damage it. However, Baguer said, at present, it has a bigger international projection at Gys Fruit. Different countries, such as Dubai, Canada, and Malaysia are very interested in this product which is known for its sweetness and smooth texture - ideal to make baby food, for example, Bague said.
