Schladerer Williams Pear was first made in 1957 and quickly became one of the most important producta in the Schladerer range. It is made using pears from the local region (Markgräflerland, Breisgau, Kaiserstuhl), France (Ardèche, Drôme, Isère and Savoie) and Italy (Trentino and Lombardy).

The most full-bodied fruits grow at altitudes of 300 to 800 meters. To help avoid damage during transportation, they are harvested shortly before ripening and turning green to yellow or red. The fruit is generally mashed three to four days after arrival at the distillery.
