Returning to France with the exotic fruit, he was inspired to create a unique product: Passoa liqueur. This aromatic drink with a rich coral color has been produced according to the original recipe in an elegant black bottle for over 30 years.

Such rigor with incredible taste has become the brand's hallmark.
