The ingredients of Calda
Each ingredient is chosen for its connection to the land, its ability to tell a story.

Burnt caramel
Custom-made based on Mirazur's expertise, this dry-cooked caramel offers the perfect balance between gourmet sweetness and a slight bitterness from cooking.
Saffron
Kashmiri saffron, a fine Indian product, with floral and deep notes. It gives Calda its amber color and warm reflections.
Marigold
Its leaves reveal intense notes of citrus and candied fruit without adding sugar. Grown using indoor farming in France, it develops a strong aromatic intensity.

WHY DON'T WE DEALCOHOLICATE?
