Product Details:

• Producer: Laurent Cazottes
• Country: France
• Liqueur Style: Tomato Liqueur
• Ingredients: 72 varieties of ancient tomatoes, Folle Noire grape eau-de-vie, Folle Noire grape sugar
• Production: The tomatoes are dried, destemmed, and the bitter components are removed. The flesh is then macerated in Folle Noire grape eau-de-vie, followed by distillation of the marc, which is then reintegrated into the liqueur.
• Tasting Notes: The liqueur presents a shade between pale orange-pink and salmon pink, bright and luminous, finely veined with purple. It offers a complex bouquet of tomato layers—sweet, bittersweet, bitter, and tart—with a woody backdrop. The palate transitions from dense to delicate, highlighted by notes of bergamot, jasmine, fern, and citrus peel, culminating in a fresh, rich, and mellow finish with dual tones of bitterness and mellowness.
