Looking for an eating pear variety

Thanks

Comice, William or conference are all good pears.

Conference are always best ripened off the tree.

I have this one

Home-grown Conference are pretty good but you DO have to pay attention to picking and storing for ripening. They are an easy tree to grow but rely on pollinators, make sure the bees fly.

Beurre de Comice is tricky to grow but the years that mine ripened they were celestial. 1e One year in ten.

Proverb: A pear is perfect for only fifteen minutes. True.

I've three pear trees, and if I'm honest I've no idea which variety (Pirum Aldi Vulgaris? ). Two have small enough fruit, heavy cropping, quite hard and very tasty, the other has larger softer fruit that I usually pass on to elderly neighbours. What I love about the smaller hard fruit, is they're slow to ripen and slow to go off, hence providing a late crop of fresh fruit when all the apples are long gone. Most years I'm still eating them until late November and the last few fruit were still on the tree at Christmas.
