Liqueur (crème de fruits) made from the infusion of blackcurrants, harvested in the Loire Valley through sustainable farming.
This guarantees high-quality fruits at tasting, nutritional and health levels.
A black-coloured berry, blackcurrant is the fruit of the Cassissier which grows wild in the mountainous and cold regions of the Palearctic zone corresponding to Europe and certain countries in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. These smooth-skinned berries are very aromatic and are therefore often used in liqueurs and creams. Once used as a medicinal preparation, crème de cassis as it is known today was created in Burgundy in the 19th century. Crème de cassis has the specificity of containing a minimum of 15 degrees of alcohol as well as a minimum of 400 grams of sugar per litre.

Cassis Noir 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.
