Plants and wild herbs native to the Valle d'Aosta such as gentian, wormwood and elderberry are used in numerous regional recipes. La Valdôtaine Bitter combines the pleasant pungency of wormwood with the sweet scent of elderflower and the bitter taste of gentian root. Other essences such as orange peel and licorice root are added to these ingredients. The result is the perfect harmony of Alpine freshness and the delicate scents of the Mediterranean region.
