Vedrenne has been making liqueurs since 1923 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, in the heart of Burgundy, initially winning recognition for the outstanding quality of its Crèmes de Cassis and fruit liqueurs. Now widely regarded as the third leading French producer of fruit and cocktail liqueurs, and the leader in the upmarket segment for bartenders, mixologists and connoisseurs, Vedrenne combines over a century of expertise with modern processing techniques across a wide range spanning liqueurs, aperitifs, fortified wines, fruit eaux de vie and syrups. The brand operates a museum devoted to Cassis at its main production site, alongside a smaller, more experimental distillery in the Dordogne/Périgord region, and its liqueurs receive numerous international awards each year for exceptional quality.

Vedrenne's "crèmes" are made using only fresh fruit, delicately infused in premium spirits — the juices are gravity-poured into a receiving tank, and the remaining pulp is gently pressed to extract additional second juices, a considered, low-intervention process designed to capture the fruit's full, authentic character rather than relying on concentrate or artificial flavouring. That care shows clearly in the finished strawberry liqueur, described as genuinely "life-like" in its candied strawberry character, with a full mouthfeel and lingering finish that sets it apart from simpler, syrupy strawberry liqueurs. As one of more than 30 cocktail liqueurs in Vedrenne's range — spanning everything from blackcurrant and raspberry to more unusual flavours like lychee and violet — Crème de Fraise reflects the same century of maceration expertise that first built the house's reputation with Crème de Cassis. It's a genuinely versatile bar and kitchen ingredient: excellent shaken into strawberry daiquiris or Bellinis, lengthened with sparkling wine for a simple spritz, drizzled over ice cream, or paired with fresh strawberries and cream for a classic summer dessert.
