Ode to the Royal Riviera Pear

The series “Ode to Our Favorite Foods" is a love letter about the personal and emotional connection we have with specific foods and dishes. Award-winning poet Helen Mitsios has been a Harry & David customer for a number of years and likes to send a box of Royal Riviera® Pears to friends and family during the holidays. Here she shares her feelings about what the iconic Royal Riviera® Pear means to her in a way only she knows how — with a poem.
