This is Giffard If you need a flavour, Giffard has you covered. Since 1885.

Intro to the brand

Giffard began in 1885 when Emile Giffard, a pharmacist in Angers, created Menthe-Pastille – a crystal-clear white mint liqueur that is still the house signature today. Almost 140 years later, the company remains family-owned and family-run, with know-how passed down through four generations.

Everything starts with the raw material. Giffard uses fresh fruits and plants, sourced from the Loire Valley wherever possible, across a range that spans premium liqueurs, classic liqueurs and cremes, sirops, and a growing alcohol-free collection. Sustainable development has always been central to the Giffard culture, so every bottle is made and sourced responsibly.
