Hedgehog Pear, which is more widely known as Barnet, is a Gloucestershire variety notable for its russeted skin, an uncommon characteristic in perry pears. The flavour is unique as result, with a soft texture, gentle juiciness on the palate and delightful nuttiness. Hedgehogs are very closely associated with the town of Ross-on-Wye, so the choice of synonym seems appropriate!
Sweetness: ⬤⬤ Medium
Tasting Notes: Lovely subtle pear notes wrapped in a refreshing drink
Pairs well with:
Mature cheddar cheese
Roast pork with apple sauce
Charcuterie boards
Autumn harvest dishes
