Massenez Crème à la Fraise des Bois or Strawberry Cream is one of those liqueurs where the fragility of the original fruit is remarkably preserved in the intensity of the characteristic aromas. It is a beautiful harmony for a cream and acclaimed for its quality.

This liqueur has a very intense fruity nose with some floral notes revealing a very slight acidity.  Attack in the mouth is fresh and dynamic as to surprise your palate.  Then a clear evolution towards a more mature, candied fruit reminiscent of sweet notes of jam.  The finish is very pleasant and persistent on the fruity aspect of the cream.
