🌍 Origin

Pears are native to Europe and Western Asia, and Spain is among the leading producers of high-quality pears in the Mediterranean region. Grown in fertile regions like Lleida, Zaragoza, and Aragón, Spanish pears benefit from ideal growing conditions — sunny days, cool nights, and nutrient-rich soil. Harvested by hand at peak ripeness, they are carefully selected for export to ensure the best flavor, juiciness, and long shelf life.
