Pear eau-de-vie is a type of fruit brandy made from fermented pears. It is produced through a process of distillation, where the fermented pear juice is heated to separate the alcohol from the water and other components. The result is a clear, potent spirit that captures the essence of the fruit. This spirit is often enjoyed as a digestif, served chilled or at room temperature. Eau-de-vie translates to "water of life" in French, reflecting its historical significance in European culture. It can also be used in cocktails or as a flavoring in culinary dishes.
