One hot summer of 1885, Émile Giffard, a dispensing chemist living in Angers, took an interest in the digestive and refreshing properties of mint, and ended up concocting a pure, clear and refined white mint liqueur as a relief against the heat wave.
Having found instant success, Émile turned his pharmacy into a distillery and named his liqueur Menthe-Pastille , in reference to the tiny mint sweets that were all the rage in those days. Five generations later, the family business still bears the Giffard name and is proud to uphold the high standards of quality instilled by its original creator.
Savoroso exclusively imports and distributes Giffard liqueurs, syrups, sauces, and spirits in the Philippines. We have deeply penetrated the beverage flavours market and held regular events to showcase Giffard to the public. Giffard has carried out customer service to the highest level – just as Quality and the Giffard brand is synonymous.
