Description

Briottet Creme de Cacao Blanc (Chocolate Liqueur) is an essential cocktail ingredient and lends its chocolate flavour to many cocktails. It is especially useful when one doesn’t want the darker colour of dark Creme de Cacao.

Maison Briottet is a family business, founded in 1836, and has been run by the 6th generation of the Briottet family, Claire and Vincent, since 2014. The Maison is located in the centre of the town of Dijon in the Burgundy wine-growing region. Originally, the family were negociants of Burgundy wine, involved with ageing, blending, bottling and selling the wines. Following the development, and massive popularity of the Blanc Cassis Aperitif (white wine with Crème de Cassis also known as a Kir), in the 1900s, the company progressively focused its activities on producing fruit crèmes, liquors, brandies and Marcs de Bourgogne.

Maison Briottet maintains a very high level of quality. It is the selection of the ripest fruit, locally sourced where possible, from the most suitable cultivars that provides for the finest flavours. The first step on the ladder in the process is contracting the right growers to produce the finest, best quality, ripe fruit. Then, at the headquarters, the fruits undergo carefully observed maceration with very pure neutral alcohol and blending with the correct proportion of sugars to achieve the balance between fruit flavour, sweetness, acidity and alcohol to create top of the range crèmes and liqueurs.

Briottet Creme de Cacao Blanc is a clear coloured liqueur made from cocao beans. The beans are harvested from cocao trees in Ghana, they are then roasted and then macerated in pure, neutral alcohol to give a chocolate flavoured infusion. Finally the infusion is sweetened with sugar to produce the final chocolate liqueur. Briottet Creme de Cacao Blanc (Chocolate Liqueur) can be served as a digestif, over ice, and in cocktails. It is also a very useful cooking ingredient and can be used in baking, frozen desserts or the Grasshopper Pie as made famous by Nigella Lawson.
