Maison Perrotte Pineapple with Lausée Verte Absinthe

Tasting Notes of the Curator

Maison Perrotte’s Pineapple with Lausée Verte Absinthe is a striking fusion of bright fruit and refined botanical notes. The pineapple takes centre stage first—juicy, golden, and bursting with natural sweetness. Its flavour is tropical but elegant, with a lively acidity that keeps each spoonful refreshing rather than sugary.

Then the magic happens: the absinthe reveals itself gently, adding a whisper of anise, fennel, and green herbal freshness. It never overwhelms—the balance is measured and intentional. Instead, the absinthe deepens the preserve’s aroma, lending a faintly mysterious, almost perfumed quality that transforms it from a simple jam into something far more intriguing.

The texture is lush and spoonable, with tender pineapple pieces suspended in a glossy, fragrant syrup. Every bite shifts playfully between sunshine-bright fruit and cool botanical complexity. It’s a preserve for those who enjoy flavour that surprises—familiar yet adventurous, comforting yet elevated.
