THE PRODUCTS OF THE CARTHUSIAN FATHERS

Chartreuse, it is more than 4 centuries of history since the handing over of the manuscript by François Hannibal d’Estrées in 1605. It took more than 150 years of research for the Carthusian monks (les Chartreux) to unravel the secret of the manuscript and fix the recipe for the Elixir Végétal in 1764. At the beginning of the 19th century, the development of a new “Table Elixir” gave birth to the Green Chartreuse and the Yellow Chartreuse in 1840. Since then, they have been able to keep and transmit their precious know-how and , even today, these recipes constitute the main product of the Chartreux Fathers.
