La Grande Chartreuse

La Grande Chartreuse is famous for its liqueur. Liqueur Chartreuse is made only by Carthusian Monks of La Grande Chartreuse near Grenoble, France. Chartreuse today is still made from 130 Alpine herbs according to an ancient 1605 formula. The secret method of preparation is shared by three Carthusian Brothers and is protected by vows of silence.
