The story behind it

The maker

Distilleries et Domaines de Provence has been making traditional French liqueurs and aperitifs in Forcalquier for over a century. The house prides itself on capturing the botanical heritage of the mountain region, preserving time-honored distillation techniques while making classic recipes accessible to modern consumers.

How it is made
