Who we are
Embracing Tradition, Redefining Elegance
At LA PEAR, we bring the rich, storied tradition of smoked pear—a Ukrainian delicacy cherished through generations—into the heart of contemporary cuisine. Rooted in cultural heritage and inspired by modern culinary artistry, our mission is to deliver a unique and luxurious experience that captivates the senses.
Our Story
LA PEAR was born out of a passion for preserving the authentic flavors of Ukrainian cuisine while elevating them for today's sophisticated palate. From traditional family recipes to innovative culinary techniques, we have reimagined the art of smoking pears to create a product that is both timeless and refreshingly new. Our smoked pear, known as "ushenytsia," represents more than just food—it’s a celebration of history, culture, and the art of crafting flavors that resonate.
Our Craft
Each LA PEAR product is meticulously crafted using only the finest pears, handpicked at the peak of ripeness and carefully smoked to perfection. The unique smoking process not only enhances the pear's natural sweetness but also infuses it with a deep, caramelized smokiness that sets it apart. Rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, our smoked pear is a superfood that supports overall well-being while offering a depth of flavor that elevates every dish.
Our Vision
Led by Chef Vlada Volovych, a visionary in blending traditional and modern culinary techniques, LA PEAR is dedicated to redefining how heritage ingredients are experienced. Chef Vlada’s expertise in European and Mediterranean cuisines, combined with her deep appreciation for Ukrainian culinary arts, brings a refined touch to every product. Under her guidance, LA PEAR is not just about taste; it’s about creating moments that connect people through shared experiences of culture and flavor.
More Than a Product, It’s a Journey
With LA PEAR, every bite tells a story of resilience, creativity, and the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation. From gourmet pairings to artisanal beverages, our smoked pear invites you to explore a new world of taste, where history meets the future of gastronomy.
