Giffard Crème de Violette Violet

Giffard Crème de Violette captures the delicate essence of the violet flower (Viola odorata), renowned for its purple or white blooms and native habitat spanning Europe, Asia, and North Africa within the Violaceae family. Beyond its ornamental appeal, violets have been valued for their medicinal properties, boasting expectorant and anti-inflammatory attributes. In the realm of symbolism, violets represent shy and secretive love, lending an air of intrigue to their presence.

Culinary applications abound for violets, with uses ranging from confectionery and pastry to syrups, liqueurs, and perfumery. Crème de violette, originating in the 19th century, experienced a peak in popularity toward the century's end. Notable cocktails featuring this ethereal liqueur include the Aviation and Blue Moon, each showcasing the floral and subtly sweet nuances of the violet.
