Wild bananas are not eaten, they contain many seeds and little pulp. It was only with domestication, 5,000 to 10,000 years ago, that this fruit became edible as we know it today. The market is colossal with no less than 130 million tonnes produced each year. The main producing countries are India, China, the Philippines, Brazil and Ecuador.
The banana is consumed as a fruit or a vegetable (plantain) depending on the region of the world. It is not a juicy fruit, it can be pureed to be mixed into a drink. With its sweet and intense notes characteristic of banana, Giffard Banana Liqueur reveals all the aromas of the fruit in your cocktails.
About the Producer
It all started during the very hot summer of 1885...
Emile Giffard was a pharmacist in Angers, in the Loire Valley, but a pharmacist like no other. A curious inventor and gourmet, he carried out research on the digestive system and the refreshing properties of mint. From this research he developed a pure, transparent, refined, white mint liqueur which he trialled with customers of the neighboring Grand Hôtel to relieve them from the heat. Emile then transformed his pharmacy into a distillery and named his liqueur Menthe-Pastille, in reference to the mints that were very popular at that time.
Five generations later, the Giffard company, still family-run, produces Menthe-Pastille, Crèmes de fruits, Liqueurs, Guignolets and Syrups, respecting the quality that has driven it from the start.
