The Doyenné de Comice pear is a variety of pear known for its large size and exceptional taste. It has a rounded, almost globular shape, with a wide base that narrows slightly towards the top. Its skin is thin, yellow-green in color, often tinged with red or pink on the parts exposed to the sun, and may have a few brownish spots.

The flesh of the Doyenné de Comice pear is creamy white, extremely soft and juicy. It offers a deliciously sweet and mild flavor, with a slight hint of floral fragrance that sets it apart from other varieties. This fruit is particularly appreciated for its melting texture and refined aroma. It is generally enjoyed fresh, but can also be used in dessert recipes, such as tarts, fruit salads, or even served with cheeses for a sweet and sour contrast.
