Select the most conscientious producers to obtain optimal quality because all the potential qualities of the liqueurs are already present in the harvested fruit .

Knowledge of fruit-growing and the varieties of fruit enables the company’s specialists to adapt the methods of arboriculture and acquire raw material of the highest quality.

First condition: the fruit must be fresh, healthy, sunripened, rich in flavour and fragrance. Depending on the species, the fruit is despatched in trays or boxes – as is the case with Williams pears. Short, rapid transport protects the total integrity of the produce. On arrival, the fruit is checked by a member of the Morand family, in the presence of a representative of the Valais government; then sorted according to rigorous quality criteria.

Inspection, analysis and quality control make it possible to obtain fruit of ideal ripeness and in a perfect state of health.
