Maison Ferrand uses the Bon-Chrétien Williams pear, also called Bartlett, to make Mathilde Poire. When ripe, it boasts golden skin and very tasty and juicy flesh. In order to extract as much as possible from the pears, they press the fruits into a juice that is fermented before the final distillation. The pear distillate is then enhanced with a touch of quince, a pear-like fruit with an intense aroma. This particular step intensifies the pear flavor. A one-week maceration process ensures that, in turn, produces a fresh and luscious pear liqueur.
