Bergamot is the fruit of the bergamot tree which is mainly grown in Italy. Bergamot oranges are the result of crossing a bitter orange variety with a lime variety. Its flesh is slightly acidic and bitter. Only the zest of the orange is used in order to extract a natural essential oil from it which is used for our liqueur or in the renowned Earl Grey tea and also in “bergamote de Nancy” (sweets from East of France). Due to the acidic characteristic of bergamot essential oil our Bergamot Orange liqueur has had conferred on it a fresh somewhat lemony taste but it also has a more spicy even smooth note.

Made from a maceration of Ardèche PDO chestnuts, our chestnut liqueur perfectly restores the flavors of this treasure of the “Ardèche” terroir (south east of France). Why is chestnut under PDO (Protected Designation of Origin)? It is PDO thanks to its characteristics and taste, due exclusively to its terroir and the human and ancestral know-how of its region. The flavor of the chestnut we use has a strong link with its geographical origin. Thank you “Ardéchois” people! As liquorists, our job is to carefully select the best product, the best fruit. This, and then sublimate it in our liqueurs. No question of distorting the subtle taste of the chestnut! We therefore use the heart of the chestnut, to bring out to the maximum the autumn and gourmet notes, characteristics of this fruit. In addition, our liqueur will bring to your kitchen a touch of originality and warmth, both for your sweet and savoury recipes. It will also be perfect as a cocktail to awaken your taste buds!
