At Monin, we are a family full of flavor enthusiasts that takes pride in the work we do, and the liquid we fill each bottle with.Founded in 1912, by Frenchman and small-town manufacturer, Georges Monin, the company is still family owned, three generations of Monin later.How did it all start? Well back in the early 1900's, in Bourges, France, Georges Monin was hosting his family for dinner when his brother-in-law asked for an after-dinner drink. As a self - proclaimed flavor enthusiast and avid cook, Georges loved to entertain. He reveled in family gatherings where he could experiment with flavor combinations and prepare savory meals all while spending time with those closest to him. As he was pouring the cordial into glasses, he noticed that the aroma escaping from the bottle was muted and the color was dull. He sipped the liquid to give it a quick taste and immediately decided that after serving a meal filled with such delectable flavors & captivating aromas, the cordial was an unfitting way to close the evening. He scoured his bar, only to realize that each and every cordial had the same lackluster flavor & impact as the first. Not long after, Georges realized that impactful flavor was actually missing from so many of the beverages that he drank. He determined that if he could just find some vibrant fruits, that he could then apply his manufacturing and culinary knowledge to extract that flavor into a liquid that could flavor anything from cordials, to coffees to water. Undeterred, Georges began scouring the cities of France & experimenting with flavors in his kitchen at home. After years of trial and error, he finally created a flavored cordial that satisfied his demanding standards.. He continued to explore & develop many exciting flavors & syrups, and began bottling & selling them across the country. Now, in the 21st century, the world is a more flavorful place, with a with a vast collection Monin gourmet flavors available in more than 140 countries
