The Griottines® recipe uses the special Oblachinska Morello Cherry. This cherry is only grown in the Balkans, and is known for its unique taste. During harvest each cherry is hand-picked, leaving the stalk behind. A rigorous sort process selects the best cherries, and within 6 hours of harvesting the first maceration occurs. This artisanal process, and attention to detail, preserves the special flavor and physical properties of the cherries. The Morello cherries, and the liqueur, through natural osmosis, become something magical. Another sort process selects only the perfect cherries. The pit of each cherry is then carefully removed through the hole left by the missing stalk. The cherries look whole but do not have the pit. These depitted cherries are then macerated in different liqueurs for different time periods based on a secret, traditional recipe. They are delivered to you for maximum enjoyment!

The lavender specific to Provence has become emblematic of Provence. In this picturesque region of southeast France, lavender is found everywhere: alongside homes, in public parks, and alongside the roadways. Lavender runs cinematically for miles in gently rolling fields crowned with stunning, resplendent blue blossoms over which bees hover, getting their fill. In July, the scent of lavender wafts throughout the entire region, putting one in a restful, optimistic state of mind (lavender is famously stress-relieving).
Yet surprisingly, pure lavender honey hard to find. It is expensive to produce because it requires a lot of bee work: lavender flowers are small and don’t yield much nectar. So beekeepers instead encourage multi-floral grazing. Knowing this, when our longtime Provençal pâtes de fruits producer started making these pure lavender honey squares, we jumped on it. These soft, tender, honey squares are made exclusively with iconic yet rare French lavender honey. The taste transports you to the fields surrounding Aix-en-Provence in July.
