The countryside in Angers in the Loire Valley is lush with wild blackberries. We macerate the fresh berries to create this natural liqueur, rich in flavor and color. The fresh juice gives Giffard Creme de Mure a natural tartness and the vegetal quality of blackberry vines.

Distillery Information

At that time, Émile Giffard was a dispensing chemist living in Angers (Val de Loire).He had an inventive, inquiring mind, and was a gourmet as well. He took an interest in the digestive and refreshing properties of mint, and ended up concocting a pure, clear and refined white mint liqueur which he promptly put to the test by offering the guests at the Grand Hotel a sip of his cordial as a relief against the heat wave.

Having found instant success, Émile turned his pharmacy into a distillery and named his liqueur Menthe-Pastille , in reference to the tiny mint sweets that were all the rage in those days./p>

Five generations later, the family business still bears the GIFFARD name and is proud to uphold the high standards of quality instilled by its original creator.
