Nepita, immortelle, myrtle… these plants typical of the Corsican maquis have unsuspected qualities. And in particular, those of divinely flavoring the liqueurs and digestives prepared by Orée du maquis in Bonifacio. Stéphanie and Jean-Jacques Lovichi therefore invite you to go in search of these fragrant ingredients with them and at the same time discover some of the manufacturing secrets of their products.
Once you have learned to recognize these plants and their history, you will be immersed in Stéphanie and Jean-Jacques' small cellar, where a magical atmosphere emerges. Shop of alchemists who will offer you a taste of their beverages. You will love comparing, trying to recognize the perfumes on offer and listening to the owners of the place talk to you about their know-how and their research to always offer more new products.
Finally, you will be seduced by the simplicity of your hosts and the careful decoration of their world.
