The advantages of experiencing Folle Envie are as impressive as they are numerous. A glance at its key features reveals a blend of time-honored practices and modern sensibilities:

- Crafted from organic grape musts fermented in the heart of the Charentes, selecting the very floral Ugni blanc grape variety
- A unique recipe inherited from ZILDA, mon arrière-grand-mère, a benevolent and slightly extroverted woman whose creative legacy lives on

A Taste of Heritage
At the heart of Folle Envie lies its heritage – the cherished memory of ZILDA, mon arrière-grand-mère. Inspired by an old family recipe, this drink was originally concocted for the local clientele, the people of the village and neighboring villages alike, on Saturdays when the tiny grocery store transformed into a lively buvette. This anecdote isn’t just a nostalgic footnote; it is a celebration of community and the warmth of shared moments. The story of Zilda is a gentle reminder that every great recipe has its roots in love, care, and an unyielding passion for quality – a sentiment that continues to inspire the brand today.
Commitment to Craft and Quality
The essence of Folle Envie is taste – a principle enshrined from the very beginning. “Le goût. Avant tout, notre raison d’être c’est le goût” resonates as a declaration of purpose: to create an apéritif that is “follement bon” (wildly good). There is an unspoken understanding that exceptional taste is only meaningful if it is the result of something well made. In every step of production, from the selection of organic grape musts to fermentation, the craft is celebrated with careful attention to detail and respect for tradition. The recipe, which calls for 2 volumes of Folle Envie, 1 volume of a bio and French tonic, and a slice of lemon, is a delightful invitation to indulge in a cocktail that is as refreshing as it is authentic. Moments of joy and pauses to appreciate the exquisite blend… these are what make every sip memorable.
A Sustainable Approach: Respecting Planet and People
Folle Envie’s philosophy extends well beyond taste. It embraces a strong commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. “NOTRE OBJECTIF” emphasizes a desire not to be the best in the world but to be better for the world. In the production of this apéritif, there is a clear effort to take responsibility for the impact on both humanity and the planet – pushing for innovative and lasting solutions. This is reflected in every aspect of the process, whether it is through the careful respect of our planet – “LE RESPECT DE NOTRE PLANÈTE” – or through the unwavering focus on the well-being of people – “LE RESPECT DES HOMMES.” The respect for tradition, quality, and the environment shows that every decision is made with both heart and mind.
