The Williams Bartlett pear (pictured above), commonly called the Williams pear in Australia or the Bartlett pear in the United States and Canada, is the most commonly grown variety of pear in most countries outside Asia.
The origins of this variety are uncertain. “Bon Chrétien” (Good Christian) is named after Francis of Paola, a holy man whom King Louis XI of France had called to his deathbed as a healer in 1483.
Francis offered the king a pear seed from his native Calabria with instructions to plant and care. Hence the pear tree was called The “Good Christian” Pear.

William Bartlett pears: The soft, sweet flesh of this pear variety is ideal for snacking, baking in cakes such as this one and tarts or poaching with vanilla for a breakfast compote.
