In the Domfrontais sub-region, where Pacory is from, producers must use at least 30% pear in their Calvados to use the regional designation. In the other sub-region, Pays D'Auge, they can't use more than 30% pear. skuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00487419662314518931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9082156144028140004.post-32214761105104675952016-12-14T12:58:39.256-08:002016-12-14T12:58:39.256-08:00I am jealous of your available calvados. one quest...I am jealous of your available calvados. one question tho, how is it calvados if it is made from pears?
