It all began in 1885 in the Loire Valley, where pharmacist Émile Giffard was experimenting with mint. He created a refreshing liqueur—Menthe-Pastille—that was such a success that he transformed his pharmacy into a distillery.
What began small has grown into an international family business that has been passed down through generations for 140 years. GIFFARD still stands for craftsmanship, innovation, and French finesse.
From the iconic Menthe-Pastille to a wide range of liqueurs and syrups (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic), GIFFARD has become a trusted brand in bars around the world—and now available here too.
