Eau de Vie Poire Williams is made from orchard-harvested Williams pears, and 14kg are used to make each bottle.
 The pears are carefully harvested at optimal ripeness in the sun. The natural fermentation process then begins by the yeast cells naturally present in the fruit. After a fermentation period of up to six weeks,  the fructose is converted to alcohol and the liquid is distilled. The final product is then stored in stainless steel containers and aged.
