Bosc
The Beurre Bosc pear is the commonly sold type of brown skinned pear. It is named after Monsieur Bosc, an 18th century french 'pomologist' who worked in the orchard area where this type was later developed. In the original French, Beurre has an accent on the final e. There are many other French developed pears with this word in the name, eg 'Beurre d'Anjou', it means 'buttery'. The Beurre bosc is good as both an eating and a cooking pear. There are various named cultivars of Beurre Bosc pear.
If you are making a pear tart, use Bosc pears because they don't fall apart as easy. If you are making a pie, a mix of Barlett and Bosc pears would work well.

No, Bosc pear trees are self-pollinating, meaning they don't require another tree nearby to produce fruit. However, having a pollinator nearby can increase fruit production and quality.

The sweetest variety of pear is the Comice pear. It's a short stocky pear with a slight reddish blush. A close second would be the Bosc pear which is a brown cinnamon colored pear with a long pointed neck. They have a very sweet honey flavor. I love pears and they are all delicious as far as I'm concerned. But those two are considered to be the sweetest variety. Hope this answer helps.
