The Beurré Bosc was cultivated first in Belgium or France. The name Bosc is given after a French horticulturist named Louis Bosc, and "Beurré" means "buttery," referring to the fruit's soft, juicy texture. When grown in warmer weather this pear has a lovely soft melting texture. These ones are coming from Mexico so hopefully will live up to their 'buttery' name.
