This is a fantastic liqueur made from sweet oranges from Brazil and Florida as well as bitter oranges from Sicily and Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). Orange peel insists on alcohol distillation in copper boilers, and the resulting alcohol is blended with sugar to soften the water before being filtered and bottled.
The Joseph Cartron House has been in the Cartron family since 1882, with roots in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the heart of Burgundy’s great cru vineyards. For well over a century, the Joseph Cartron family company has created high-quality fruit liqueurs and distilled traditional eaux-de-vie (fruit brandies) while keeping up with modern technology. Preserving and improving the original flavour of the fruits is the talent of a renowned distiller. This is the culmination of years of experience and meticulous care beginning with the harvest. The fruit must have a high aromatic content, which can only be found in historic types, and because each harvest is unique, each manufacture requires meticulous attention to detail.
