Meet Paragon, a virtually unknown pear, who recently edged out Bartlett, to top the ‘overall liking’ list in a consumer preference study at the Oregon State University. In the 2021 project they had 219 die-hard pear lovers sampling 23 different varieties. They examined attributes ranging from taste to texture and juiciness to woodiness, with the ‘overall liking’ score measuring the participants’ gut reaction after biting into a slice of the fruit. Now that our own Paragon has started fruiting our gut reaction agrees with the Oregon study. Despite it’s unassuming appearance, this pear is a standout – juicy, honey-like sweet flavour, buttery texture, with thin, palatable skin. Paragon is a cross of Comice x Max Red Bartlett. Large green fruit turns yellowish with ripening and will store up to four months.
