Edmond Briottet Creme de Bergamote
Edmond Briottet Crème de Bergamote is a refined French liqueur crafted from bergamot oranges, the aromatic citrus fruit grown primarily in Italy. Bergamot oranges are the result of crossing a bitter orange variety with a lime variety, creating a fruit with slightly acidic and bitter flesh. Only the zest is used to extract the natural essential oil that gives this liqueur its distinctive character, the same oil used in renowned Earl Grey tea and traditional French bergamote de Nancy sweets. Why You'll Love It This is French liqueur craftsmanship at its finest. Edmond Briottet, established in 1836, is renowned for producing exceptional fruit liqueurs using traditional methods and natural ingredients. The acidic characteristic of bergamot essential oil gives this liqueur a fresh, somewhat lemony taste balanced by a more spicy, smooth note. It's perfect for adding sophisticated citrus complexity to cocktails or enjoying as a digestif. Production Crafted by Edmond Briottet in Dijon, France, using traditional methods passed down through generations. Only the zest of bergamot oranges is used to extract the natural essential oil, which is then carefully blended to create a liqueur that captures the fruit's distinctive aromatic character. The result is a balanced expression with fresh citrus and subtle spice. Tasting Notes Bright and aromatic with fresh bergamot orange, lemon zest, and subtle bitter orange notes. The palate is fresh and citrus-forward with a slightly acidic, lemony character balanced by spicy, smooth undertones. The finish is clean and refreshing with lingering bergamot and gentle sweetness. Perfect Serve Excellent in cocktails, adding sophisticated citrus complexity to gin-based drinks, spritzes, or champagne cocktails. Also delicious served chilled as a digestif, mixed with tonic water, or drizzled over desserts and ice cream.
Edmond Briottet Creme de Figue (Fig)
Known for over 5000 years, eaten and used in the pharmacopoeia in the Middle East from where it originated, the highly energizing, digestive and laxative fig is grown throughout the Mediterranean basin. The Egyptians used figs for wine-making, the Gauls from Southern France used them to sweeten their dishes. Serve the Creme de Figue as in Malta, with delicious nougat, or try this recipe for fig salad: Serves 6: Peel 750 g figs and cut into pieces. Place in a large bowl and sprinkle with 3 soup spoonfuls of caster sugar. Add 1 cl Creme de Figues and 1/2 cl Curacao Triple Sec. Cover with aluminium foil and allow to macerate in a cool place for at least 2 hours. Serve iced with as much fresh cream as you like. Aperitif classified as a liqueur wine, Ratafia Briottet is obtained by adding approx. two thirds of fresh Burgundy grape must (before fermentation) with one third of Marc de Bourgogne. Very rustic young, Ratafia mellows with time. Served chilled, Ratafia gives off scents of the Burgundian vineyard in a unique way.
