EVERYONE should buy at least one in their lifetime,February 11, 2010
By happy in Californiafrom California
"This year I have taken advantage of the wonderful sales offered by Harry&David and sent 10 friends and family the Harry's Collection gifts which delighted all the recipients! I decided to get myself a "gift" for Valentine's Day and ordered the Cream of the Crop box. OH MY GOODNESS! I cannot think of sufficient superlatives to describe these marvelous pears! The smell alone when you lift the lid off the box is glorious, then you see five HUGE pears. Then the waiting and checking until finally, the first one is ripened....the slow, savoring, deliciousness as you eat. Oh, my.
Everyone should place at least one order in their lifetime for Harry&David Cream of the Crop Pears!"

Truly, Cream of the Crop!,January 26, 2010
By MDNY
"My whole family looks forward each year to having these pears for dessert (along with some artisanal gorgonzola cheese) over the holidays. It's become a tradition. Four boxes last us from Xmas Eve thru New Year's dinners. They are so large that one can feed 2-3 people. If you're ordering the Royal Riviera Pears splurge on the "Cream of the Crop"--they are definitely worth it. Ripen them in the box or remove some of them and place in individual brown paper lunch bags for quicker ripening. Ready to eat in 3-4 days. Sweet and juicy--better than dessert pastry!! We've never been disappointed."

"The taste and quality of the Cream of the Crop pears continues to amaze us. We have ordered these pears for 3 years running, for ourselves and others....Not one time has there been a substandard piece of fruit or a late delivery....and the taste... if anything, it gets better each time."

Juicy, juicy pears,January 26, 2010
By DJ-PAfrom Central PA
"You will need a large napkin or bib to eat these wonderful and incredible Royal Riviera pears. A regal treat. I give these each year to family and friends in gift baskets or single box orders and the Thank You's just pour in afterwards. I highly recommend them. My grandson is especially happy when Grandpa sends him a box all his own."

"If you haven't tried them, you have no idea how incredible these pears are. Mom and Dad started us with a Christmas gift and continued sending them for many years. My parents are gone now but we continue the tradition by treating ourselves and our children to Harry and David's Royal pears every Christmas. Nothing compares!"

Amazing,January 15, 2010
By NOLA Buyerfrom SE Louisiana
"I enjoy a decent pear--about as much as the average person does. I received (& gave) these pears for the 1st time over the holidays and....WOW! Believe the hype! They are delicious! When they ripen, they are like rich, pear-flavored sugar on a spoon! Even my BF (who eats fruit only under coercion) keeps asking--"when are we getting more of those huge pears"!"

Truly cream of the crop!,December 31, 2009
By fanfromeasttexasfrom East Texas
"My parents used to receive these Royal Riviera Pears as gifts from friends each Christmas. My Mom was recently reminiscing about past holidays with her cousin (they're both widows) and said how much she loved these pears. I sent a box of these to both of them this year and they've talked of nothing else! I've now ordered more for her, plus a box for myself and both of my sons and their families. New tradition!"

Unbelievable!,December 29, 2009
By Pickyfrom Ct
"I have to say I was nervous about purchasing fruit for my boss who has very fine taste! I was so relieved when he told me they were the best pears he had ever had! Understand that this man is a good age and has been all over the world, and knows fine things. He was nice enough to bring me one, and said you must try this! I concure, it was the juicest, most tender and best textured pear I HAVE EVER HAD. Thank you!"
