Concorde

A tier

Concorde is a UK-bred Conference × Comice cross—long elegant shape, sweet vanilla-leaning flavour, and flesh that stays appetising without turning instantly mushy. Russeting varies; productivity suits modern orchards. A newer classic in British and European retail. Fresh eating primarily; also tarts. Ripens with good aroma. Bridges Conference reliability and Comice luxury in one cultivar. Pair Concorde with complementary seasonings and a cooking method such as Fresh to show the Conference × Comice side of the ingredient. Shoppers meeting Concorde for the first time should taste it plain before masking it; the Vanilla Sweet profile is easier to remember that way.
