With blackcurrant as its starting point, the Monna family offers flavourful, creative and inspiring products and experiences to customers who love authenticity! The Cassis Monna & filles house has combined passion and innovation since 1992. On Île d’Orléans, it grows blackcurrants and turns this small fruit into top-quality products, including a crème de cassis that has won several medals at prestigious international competitions.
Born in the south of France and a fourth-generation liqueur maker, Bernard Monna was the first producer of blackcurrant wines and crème de cassis in Quebec. In the early 1970s, he settled on Île d’Orléans, where he put down roots.
Heir to a long family tradition, Bernard Monna passed his know-how on to his two daughters, Catherine and Anne, who now carry on the business. They received the Artisan of the Year award at the first edition of the Lauriers de la gastronomie québécoise.
