Maison Perrotte William Pear Marmalade with Grand Cru Raiatea Vanilla

Maison Perrotte’s William Pear Marmalade with Grand Cru Raiatea® Vanilla is a study in elegance. William pears, known for their soft flesh and perfumed sweetness, cook down into a silky, almost translucent texture. Their flavour is gentle yet expressive: floral, lightly honeyed, and naturally refreshing. What transforms this marmalade into something exceptional is the addition of Grand Cru Raiatea® vanilla—a rare variety from French Polynesia prized for its intoxicating aroma.

The vanilla note is unmistakable: warm, heady, and deeply fragrant, weaving through the pear like a ribbon of perfume. It doesn’t overpower—the balance is masterful. Instead, it amplifies the pear’s delicacy, giving the marmalade a round, creamy finish and a luxurious linger. The mouthfeel is smooth with tender pear pieces, offering both comfort and sophistication in every spoonful. This is a preserve built for slow mornings, elegant brunches, and the kind of cheese board that deserves attention.

A versatile, aromatic preserve designed for elevated breakfasts and gourmet entertaining.
