Gabriel Boudier Liqueur Creme De Cassis De Dijon 750ml

Creme de Cassis de Dijon is the only liqueur which must be manufactured by macerating blackcurrants in alcohol without preservatives or colouring agents. But Gabriel Boudier goes even further: the fruits must meet several criteria, such as the choice of noble varieties and the strict requirements of the inspection laboratory, in particular concerning their maturity and all the phytosanitary processing applied. All fruit creams and liqueurs manufactured by Gabriel Boudier are also based on this respect of the fruit. How is a Creme de Cassis de Dijon manufactured? The blackcurrant infusion is obtained by macerating blackcurrants in alcohol (30 % Vol. ). It is extremely concentrated in fruits and therefore highly acid. Blackcurrant is a particularly acid fruit and, as in cooking, the only way to neutralise this acidity is by adding sugar. After adding sugar, the blackcurrant infusion becomes a Cream.

It is also a story of a place, Dijon, which gave its name to the ”Creme de Cassis de Dijon” a protected geographical indication now recognised all over the world. The House of Gabriel Boudier is based on the principles and values of its founders. People who knew how to develop an idea without betraying its spirit. In 1909, Gabriel Boudier took over the house of Fontbonne, founded in 1874 and renamed it with his own name. He established the business at Boulevard de Strasbourg in Dijon where it continued to develop until his death in 1918. In 1936, his widow sold the house to Marcel Battault, who decided not to change the trading name because of its high quality reputation; and he, in turn, handed the business to his nephew Pierre Battault. Thus two families in succession have built the reputation for quality at the House of Gabriel Boudier while insisting on the motto ”Quality without compromise”. In 1969, the company moved to Rue de Cluj in Dijon to allow for expansion and development and it remains family owned and the only significant independent producer in this sector
