Description
Currant liqueur
Crème de cassis originates from the area around Dijon in Burgundy, France. There, Félix Kir, former mayor of the city, made the combination of blackcurrant liqueur and white wine the official drink of the region. If you replace the white wine with champagne, the result is a drink for which Crème de Cassis is almost emblematic: Kir Royal.
However, this cassis is neither produced in France nor does it follow conventional production methods. It reinterprets the traditional method. According to the EU Spirits Regulation, crème de cassis must have a sugar content of at least 400 grams of sugar per liter. For CASSIS 775, the sugar content has been reduced by half in order to achieve the perfect balance between acidity and sweetness. As with most of the Freimeisterkollektiv’s products, as many ingredients as possible for this liqueur come from a single source. The Mozer family in the Hohenlohe district of Baden-Württemberg grow the blackcurrants themselves and process them on their own farm.
Traditional recipes describe crème de cassis as an infused liqueur in which the blackcurrants are macerated in alcohol. Fritz-Martin Mozer does not use this maceration in his recipe, but instead presses the blackcurrants fresh. This direct or mother juice – around two kilos of berries are needed for one liter of juice – forms the basis of the liqueur, which is then fortified with blackcurrant brandy. This is obtained by Fritz-Martin Moser from maceration and distillation and was developed especially for the Freimeisterkollektiv. No further flavorings or citric acid are added. The result is a complex liqueur that impresses with its freshness and fruitiness.

FRITZ-MARTIN MOZER
Master orchardist and distiller | Hohenlohe
Since 1893, the Mozer family has run the Lerchenhof farm on a small hill between Ohrntal and Pfedelbach, in the middle of the orchards of the Hohenlohe district in Baden-Württemberg. This location in the gently rolling hills has enabled the Mozer family to specialize in the cultivation of apples, pears and berries, which are nurtured and cared for in their diversity of varieties. Fritz-Martin Mozer took over the distillery from his father and has been producing liqueurs for more than 20 years. He is supported at the still by his wife Christine and son Konstantin. The Mozer family only processes and distils their own fruit. In addition to red and blackcurrants and various apple and pear varieties, the Lerchenhof also grows quince, sour cherry, mirabelle plum, Lörpflaume and damson plum.
