Distillerie Massenez - Green Crème de Menthe - 20%
The Distillerie Massenez is located in Dieffenbach-au-Val, right in the heart of the prestigious Alsace region, renowned for its exceptional expertise in blending and distillation. Founded in 1870 by Jean-Baptiste Massenez, a master distiller, this renowned house embodies artisanal excellence and ancestral tradition. In 1913, his son Eugène Massenez innovated by distilling wild raspberry eau-de-vie for the first time, which captivated the Queen of Sweden, thus allowing the distillery to be appointed official supplier to the Swedish royal court. The third generation, represented by Gabriel Eugène, continues and amplifies the distillery's reputation by working closely with French haute cuisine, notably with starred chefs such as Bocuse and culinary institutions like La Tour d’Argent. Facing growing demand, a new distillery was inaugurated in 1979, marking a key milestone in its development. Today, the brand is present in over 110 countries and offers a rich and diverse range of exceptional products. In 2010, a strategic alliance with the Grandes Distilleries Peureux, renowned notably for their Griottines, gave new momentum while preserving the authenticity and original DNA of Distillerie Massenez.
The liqueur is a neutral alcohol to which a skillful blend of sugar and natural aromas is added, providing richness and complexity. The fruit cream belongs to this large family of liqueurs, with a notable particularity: its high sugar content. The essential difference between a liqueur and a fruit cream lies in the sugar concentration. A liqueur generally contains a minimum of 100 g of sugar per liter, with an alcohol content between 15 and 55%. When it exceeds 250 g of sugar per liter, it is qualified as a "cream," offering remarkable sweetness and smoothness. These liqueurs and fruit creams are versatile: ideal for preparing refined cocktails, but also appreciated as a digestif or as an original ingredient in gourmet cuisine.
