Plants and spices
The plants and spices that compose Bénédictine originate from regions across the world. From Greece to Africa, through Indonesia and India, each ingredient is carefully selected for its aromatic qualities, adding to the elixir’s complexity.
Since Antiquity
Some plants and spices were already used in Antiquity, while others still appear in ancient pharmacopoeias. The origins of these plants span different regions of the world.
The art of balance
Born of a subtle combination, Bénédictine reveals a balance of intensity, sweetness and complexity. This aromatic richness makes it a natural ally in mixology, inspiring cocktails where each ingredient is precisely balanced to create harmonious, contemporary accords.
Bénédictine selects product ingredients from four continents with quality as the sole criterion of choice.
At the heart of the recipe
