Family and tradition since 1898
The home of absinthe is a green valley in Switzerland's Jura Mountains – Val-de-Travers. Tucked away in this misty valley, is a small village called Couvet, where absinthe came into being in the 18th century. The village is surrounded by the mystical hills of Jura, which are rocky, but full of clear streams and fragrant herbs.

This unique landscape is the home of Green Velvet – Absinthe Originale.
Ever since it first appeared, there have been countless rumors and secrets surrounding the manufacture of absinthe.

Our unique recipe has been handed down from generation to generation for more than 100 years and remains the guarded secret of our Green Velvet distillery à la Maison Persoz.

The mixture of twelve different ingredients and the mystery of the 100% natural coloring, which occurs only at night, are just two factors that make Green Velvet an unforgettable pleasure to drink.

Green Velvet has fragrances of the combination of mountain rocks, spring water and the botanicals of the canton of Jura. Enjoy Green Velvet as it combines traditional handicraft with modern drinking culture.
