Creme de Frais des Bois Briottet (Wild Strawberry)
The wild strawberry is a small, vibrant red fruit known for its exceptional delicacy. It began to spread across Europe in the 17th century, finding an ideal home in France’s Burgundy region. It didn’t take long for locals to discover that these berries could be used for something a bit more potent than just juice!
Creme a la Fraise des Bois is crafted using a traditional maceration process, delivering a bold, intensely fruity flavour with a smooth, sweet finish. Enjoy it as a delightful twist on the classic Kir by mixing it with white wine, cremant, or champagne in place of cassis. It’s also a versatile addition to desserts—and a perfect choice for a strawberry daiquiri!
Edmond Briottet
A former wine establishment, the Edmond Briottet firm was set up in 1836. Given the growing popularity of the "white wine-cassis" aperitif, Edmond Briottet decreased operating as a wine trader and instead switched over gradually to producing Crème de Cassis. Since then, each successive generation of the Briottet family has worked at the firm.
The combination of the finest ingredients and Briottet's expertise enables them to produce liqueurs and creams of the highest quality. They have more than 50 different liqueurs including the classic peach liqueur (crème de pêche) and raspberry liqueur (crème de framboise).
The difference between creams and liqueurs arises out of the proportion of sugar employed -- a liqueur contains 100 grammes of sugar per liter at least, versus 250 grammes at least as regards a cream.
