In 1932, Paul Ricard was only 23 years old when he created his Pastis de Marseille, to which he gave his name: "Ricard". A legendary and daring entrepreneur, Paul Ricard gave the brand a singularity that distinguished it from any other drink. Today, more than 90 years later, his iconic recipe, based on historical know-how, remains unchanged. It is a unique blend of ingredients of natural origin: anise mainly from star anise, liquorice and an aromatic bouquet of Provençal plants. Ricard, an expert in extraction and aromatic blending for more than 90 years, develops all the natural extracts of this product in the south of France.
