Poiret Sirop de Poires et Pommes

Poiret is a traditional fruit spread, specifically a pear and apple syrup, produced in the Aubel region of Belgium. It is characterized by its high fruit content—using approximately 700 grams of fruit to produce 100 grams of syrup—and its lack of added sugars, relying on the natural sweetness and pectin of the fruit to achieve its characteristic consistency and flavor.

The brand is manufactured and owned by Siroperie Meurens, a family-owned Belgian company with a heritage dating back to 1902. Unlike many historic brands that have been acquired by large global conglomerates, Siroperie Meurens has remained independent, continuing to operate from its base in Aubel. The brand name 'Poiret' itself is a reference to the pear ('poire' in French) and has been a staple in Belgian households for generations, often served with bread, cheese, or used in traditional recipes like 'boulets à la liégeoise'.
