Bigallet has been creating its liqueurs and syrups in France, in Val de Virieu (at the foot of the Alps), for over 150 years. Our strategy and steady growth are based on the quality of our products, created and manufactured using authentic recipes and all our know-how.

We are proud to offer a complete range of natural syrups and liqueurs, with no colourings or preservatives. Our recipes are created using carefully selected ingredients: wild blueberries and chestnuts from France, genepi from the Alps, lemons from Sicily, vanilla from Madagascar etc...
