Avèze is created using fresh and wild gentiane from Riom-es-Montagnes, France, located in the heart of the Volcanic Natural Park of Auvergne, since 1929. Best described as a bitter liqueur, similar to Campari or Aperol, gentiane has been known to possess unique qualities including stimulating the appetite, aiding digestion following meals, reducing fever and acting as an anti-depressant.
