孟津梨有一千多年的历史，传说由晋皇宫芳林苑传出。晋朝潘岳“灵囿繁石榴，茂林列芳梨”的诗句中所指，就是如今的孟津梨。质优味甜，芳香怡神，故称“芳梨”。 孟津梨历史悠久，能与其媲美者甚少。
        
    孟津梨色艳味美，皮薄质细。汁多渣少，酸甜适度，清脆可口，早熟耐贮，久负盛名。孟津梨远销港、澳、印尼、马来西亚、斯里兰卡、新加坡等十几个国家和地区，被誉为“洛阳金桔”和“中国金桔”。
       
    孟津梨主要品种有伏梨（金屁股、马蹄酥、马蹄黄、青皮伏等）和秋梨（金平梨、猪嘴梨、白梨、秋落白等）两大类。
      
    天生伏梨，为孟津梨的当家品种，就是传说中的贡梨。别看样子不强，果点小，单果重200克左右，最大可达300克。果肉鲜美，汁多，味甜，石细胞少，质地细脆，落地即酥。所以又叫“雪花脆”，也叫“落花酥”。被誉为“洛阳金桔”。长得虽不周正，吃着确实香甜。果肉细腻，入嘴就化，更兼汁水多且甜，咬过的地方直往外流水儿，水儿滴到地上，能凝结成晶莹的糖粒儿。肉细、汁多、渣少、清脆、香甜、甘美，能让你把犁核都吃完，还舍不得丢掉。
