RicardPastisdeMarseille70cl

The reputation of Ricard Pastis is built on the quality and variety of its natural ingredients.The main ingredient is star anise, harvested in southern China where only the best fruits are handpicked, sundried and distilled on site to produce anise essential oil, which preserves the star anise’s full aroma. This rigorous selection process ensures that only the finest anise essential oils are used.
