Maison Ponthier uses the Williams variety to make its pear purée and coulis. Very sweet, creamy and juicy, it reveals musky aromas heightened by a few tangy notes. The texture of PONTHIER purée and coulis perfectly recreates the grainy character of the white flesh and the intense fragrance too. Maison Ponthier chose to source its pears from orchards in Haute Provence. The pears are farmed with great respect for the environment and are hand-picked at full ripeness according to strict food hygiene and safety conditions. The soils of Haute Provence are ideal for pear trees. They need deep, fertile soil, cool without being damp.
