Eden Gold Frangipane Tart

Eden Gold pear and almond frangipane tart with blushed Eden Gold pears

This is where Eden Gold desserts come out special: the fruit bakes fragrant and sweet but keeps a delicate crunch. No mushy pear, ever.

Eden Gold stays crunchy – even grilled, baked or caramelized. Where other pears turn soft, Eden Gold keeps its signature bite.
