By rigorously maintaining the strict methods of production, the taste and flavour is now renowned throughout the world. Indeed, only Crème de Cassis de Dijon has to be made from the extract of macerating blackcurrant berries in alcohol without preservatives or colouring, with a limited addition of sugar dissolved directly into the alcoholic juice of the blackcurrant berries at cold temperature.
