We have chosen the Bon-Chretien Williams pear to make Mathilde Poire. When fully ripe, it has golden yellow skin and very tasty and juicy, smooth white flesh. In order to extract as much flavor as possible from the fruit, Mathilde Poire is made from a distillate (a distillation of pear cider) which is then enriched with an infusion of pear. The technique produces a liqueur that is true to the aromatic properties of the fruit.
