Xenia pear

The Xenia pear is a specialized variety of pear, scientifically known as 'Oksana', which was originally discovered in Moldova. However, the commercial brand and large-scale distribution were developed in Western Europe. The brand is managed by Xenia Europa, which holds the exclusive rights to the variety, ensuring consistent quality and market presence across the continent.

Most Xenia pears found in European supermarkets are cultivated in the Netherlands, particularly in the Betuwe region, and in Germany. These pears are known for their sweet flavor, crunchy texture, and long shelf life. The brand operates on a club-model basis, where selected growers are licensed to produce the fruit under strict quality standards. This ensures that every pear bearing the Xenia label meets specific size, taste, and appearance requirements before it reaches the consumer.
