A Berry Special Valentine's with British Cassis

This Valentine’s Day, we're bringing you a story of passion, tradition, and some berry magic. Meet White Heron's British Cassis, a true classic in the making and the brainchild of the remarkable Jo Hilditch.

Jo Hilditch: A Berry Bonkers Legacy
We've been working alongside Jo for over a decade, and let's just say she's bonkers about berries! A fourth-generation blackcurrant farmer in Herefordshire, Jo's life revolves around these juicy gems. While most of her crop goes into making Ribena, a nation's favourite, the rest is lovingly transformed into her award-winning British Cassis, a deliciously fruity blackcurrant liqueur that can be enjoyed on its own or pairs perfectly with fizz or as a cocktail ingredient.

Cassis: The Art of Fermentation
Forget the usual liqueur-making process; White Heron's Cassis is something else. Fermented like a fine wine using champagne yeast and British sugar, it captures the essence of blackcurrants in every bottle. Less alcoholic, more fruity, and bursting with natural sweetness – it's a true testament to Jo's dedication and expertise.
