Maison Ponthier sources the guavas for its purées from the Vakinankaratra region of Madagascar and from South Africa. These two regions offer all the specific characteristics the guava tree needs to bloom: sunlight and rich, volcanic soil that is well drained. While the guava tree may grow easily in tropical climates, it produces a fragile fruit which requires great expertise in cultivation methods. Maison Ponthier teams select guavas that have ripened on the tree and offer a juicy, tangy fruit with a musky scent. The fruit is fresh and firm, as a high-quality guava should be.
