Poiré Domfront P.D.O :
Poiré Domfront P.D.O is a traditional drink elaborated with
pear juice fermentation.
The fruits used are pears for poiré, exclusively grown in the
Domfront area, including the famous Plant de Blanc, a variety that gives
the Poiré its fruity taste.
The harvest starts in October and is made after the fruit has fallen
naturally on the ground.
After being pressed, the must is left in a vat then bottled to become
fizzy.
Poiré Domfront P.D.O is characterized by its golden colour,
its fruity and floral taste and is slightly acid and astringent.
It is served chilly for aperitif, to accompany shell, fish or desert.
Poiré Domfront P.D.O is more and more used by restaurants because
it is perfect for a gravy, sweet or salty.

Calvados
Domfrontais A.O.C :
Calvados Domfrontais A.O.C is produced thanks to poiré and cider
distillation with a still.
It is then left for years in oak barrels where the producer will have
to check carefully and regularly.
Fruit taste will change, Calvados Domfrontais will sweeten and get new
flavours: butter, vanilla, apple, liquorice and wood...
Young, Calvados Domfrontais is served for a cocktail.
To create the famous "Trou Normand", a boule of apple ice
cream and a drop of calvados to help digest, choose a 6-year-old one.
Over 10 years old in the barrel, it is a perfect digestive.
It has always been a capital element in every good Norman cuisine from,
starters to deserts.
