"The Mardi Gras pear is what I think of as pinnacle pear taste,” said Cat Gipe-Stewart, Marketing Director. “It has the consistent juicy, succulent, and moreish flavor that I seek out when enjoying a pear. We are excited to once again offer this exquisite and unique pear variety to consumers."
Last season, the Mardi Gras pear won over consumers with its classic pear taste presented in a fresh variety for United States consumers. According to a press release, its roots trace back to the Conference pear, which makes up 53 percent of EU pear production, steadily rising in demand and affirming its dominance in the market.

The Mardi Gras pear, renowned for its joyful mix of flavors and confetti-like russet, is a true statement of nature’s artistry. As spring makes its return to the Northern Hemisphere, the Mardi Gras Pear comes into season, offering a perfect blend of sweetness, juiciness, and a burst of vibrant hues. This pear gives the season's spirit with a distinct appearance of vivid green and gold russet, the release noted.
“In this week of Mardi Gras celebrations, we will be celebrating with the Mardi Gras pear. The holiday is a time of celebrating good food, good people, and good music. We are excited to Celebrate the Sweetness™ of life, and of this joyful holiday with our exclusive pear,” added Gipe-Stewart.
