A black-coloured berry, blackcurrant is the fruit of the Cassissier which grows wild in the mountainous and cold regions of the Palearctic zone corresponding to Europe and certain countries in North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. These smooth-skinned berries are very aromatic and are therefore often used in liqueurs and creams. Once used as a medicinal preparation, crème de cassis as it is known today was created in Burgundy in the 19th century. Crème de cassis has the specificity of containing a minimum of 15 degrees of alcohol as well as a minimum of 400 grams of sugar per litre.
The colour is a deep, dark red, accompanied by a gentle introductory note of pepper, followed by the rich, aromatic scent of blackcurrants. On the palate, it opens with the bold, expressive flavour of blackcurrant and finishes with a subtle, fruity bitterness.
