Giffard Caramel Toffee

Giffard Caramel Toffee (often featured as Crème de Caramel au Beurre Salé or Caramel Toffee Liqueur) is a specialty French liqueur produced by Giffard in Angers, Loire Valley, France. Founded in 1885 by Emile Giffard, the family-owned company is globally renowned for crafting premium liqueurs and syrups using natural ingredients and traditional maceration techniques.

2. Liqueur Description

Giffard Caramel Toffee is crafted using pure sugar beet caramel, fresh cream, butter, and natural flavorings, balanced with a subtle hint of sea salt (referencing classic Breton salted butter caramel). The ingredients are blended into a stable, velvety liqueur base without artificial preservatives. The result is an intensely flavorful, dessert-like spirit that delivers the warmth of cooked sugar alongside creamy, buttery richness and a balancing savory edge.
