Chartreuse: 130 Kräuter, ein Likör – das Erfolgsrezept der Kartäusermönche
Seit 1605 existiert der Kräuterlikör Chartreuse. Das Hauptprodukt des Kartäuserordens behauptet sich in einem schrumpfenden Markt. Wie machen die Mönche das?
Voiron, a small village, lent its name to a role taken by Quentin Tarantino in his film "Death Proof." In the movie, Tarantino portrays the bartender Warren, who pours rounds of Chartreuse shots for his patrons. As they drink and clink their glasses, an inquisitive young woman asks, "What the hell is this?" Tarantino responds, "Chartreuse.
The only liqueur named after a color." Tarantino is a fan of the liqueur, which is the flagship product of a monastery in the remote Chartreuse Valley. Established in 1605 by members of the Carthusian Order, Chartreuse production has little in common with the life of a bartender or a monk. Over the years, the liqueur has gained a significant following, generating a substantial income for the Carthusian monks who lead a modest existence.
The secret behind Chartreuse's transformation from a monastery product to a coveted luxury item lies in its unique blend of 130 herbs, roots, and fruits.
