The Williams' bon chrétien pear, commonly called the Williams pear or the Bartlett pear is the most commonly grown variety of pear in most European countries.
The fruit has a bell shape, and its green skin turns yellow upon later ripening, although red-skinned derivative varieties exist. It is considered a summer pear, not as tolerant of cold as some varieties.
It is often eaten raw, but holds its shape well when baked.
