Rocha Pear Liqueur 20cl

This liqueur is meticulously crafted through the maceration and distillation of organic Rocha pears - a native portuguese pear produced in the Oeste or West Region of Portugal. Throughout its production process, the essence of the fruit is carefully extracted and concentrated, resulting in a liqueur that boasts a smooth yet distinctly fruity flavor.

Production process

The production of organic Rocha pear liqueur begins with the production of the pear brandy from the same fruit.

In late summer, the pears are harvested, selected, crushed, and left to ferment. During the fermentation process, the fruit sugar converts into alcohol. Once this process is complete, the fermented mass is distilled and redistilled to extract the alcohol.

This results in an alcoholic beverage with the flavor of the fruit that originated it - the Rocha pear brandy.

To produce the liqueur, Rocha pears are selected and macerated in the previously produced brandy.

During maceration, various spices are added to complement the pear's flavor. In this process, the alcohol in the brandy absorbs the essence of the fruit - color and flavor - resulting in a fruity and even more intense taste of the original pear.

After maceration, the mixture is filtered, and organic cane sugar syrup is added, giving the liqueur its characteristic sweet flavor.

This is followed by an aging period during which the liqueur's flavor develops and matures. After this period, the liqueur is ready to be consumed.
