Wild Elderflower Size 750ML
It all started during the very hot summer of 1885…
Emile Giffard is a pharmacist in Angers, in the Loire Valley, but a pharmacist like no other.
A curious inventor and gourmet, he carries out research on the digestive and refreshing properties of mint. He thus develops a pure, transparent, refined, white mint liqueur … that he trials with customers of the neighboring Grand Hôtel to relieve them from the heat.
Emile then transforms his pharmacy into a distillery and names his liqueur Menthe-Pastille, in reference to the mints that were very popular at that time.
Five generations later, the Giffard company, still family-run, produces Menthe-Pastille, Crèmes de fruits, Liqueurs, Guignolets and Syrups, respecting the quality that has driven it from the start.
