Massenez Distillery - Artisan Fig Liqueur - 18%<\/strong><\/span><\/p>
The Massenez Distillery<\/strong> is located in Dieffenbach-au-Val, in the heart of the historic Alsace<\/strong> region. Founded in 1870 by Jean-Baptiste Massenez<\/strong>, a recognized master distiller, this family business carries on an ancestral know-how in the art of distillation. In 1913, his son Eugène Massenez innovated by distilling wild raspberry eau-de-vie for the first time, renowned and adored by the Queen of Sweden, making the distillery the official supplier to the Swedish royal court. The third generation, represented by Gabriel Eugène, strengthened the distillery's reputation by working closely with French haute cuisine, including starred chefs such as Bocuse and prestigious establishments like La Tour d’Argent. Facing sustained growth, a new modernized distillery was established in 1979, allowing the brand to export to over 110 countries and expand its range of exceptional spirits. In 2010, Massenez Distillery joined the Grandes Distilleries Peureux<\/strong>, known for their expertise and notably for the famous Griottines. Under the presidency of Bernard Baud, this alliance brought new dynamism while respecting the authentic and artisanal DNA of the house.<\/p>
The fig liqueur<\/strong> offered by the distillery is made from a carefully sweetened and flavored neutral alcohol, following a rigorous process that guarantees a natural and refined taste. It is important to distinguish liqueur from fruit cream, although they belong to the same broad family. The main difference lies in the sugar content: a liqueur contains a minimum of 100 g\/L of sugar and an alcohol content ranging between 15% and 55%. When the sugar content exceeds 250 g\/L, it is called a "cream." These fruit liqueurs and creams are ideal for making authentic cocktails, enjoyed as an elegant digestif, or adding a unique flavor to culinary preparations, providing a touch of originality and finesse.<\/p>
