A centuries-old recipe invented by a Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fecamp, France, in 1510. Once lost, it was discovered in the 19th century in an old manuscript to study hermeticism and alchemy. Alexandre Le Grand, a wine merchant, recreated the aromatic beverage.

Using twenty-seven ingredients of herbs and spices, Benedictine D.O.M. stands for Deo Optimo Maximo, which means - God infinitely good, infinitely great.
