In Japan, when you say pear, or nashi, it's the asian pear you are talking about. The round, like an apple shaped fruit that has a crispness when you bite into it. The one that is called "La France", is the one you would typically see in North America; the fruit that is heavier on the bottom than the pointed top, and has a soft, slightly grainy texture. Although both are called pears, I find they have a very different flavour, the Asian pear being more sweet with a touch of apple flavour.
Tirol Chocolates had a new flavour based on the Asian pear!
Flavours: asian pear, white chocolate
The flavour profile shows exactly what this one tastes like, a strong pear flavour mimicking the real thing. Inside the jam filling are crystals of sugar that give it a 'shari-shari', or crispy, crunchy texture that you get when biting into the crisp fruit. Although sweet white chocolate is used here, the pear flavour is unmistakable.
