The now internationally recognized herbal liqueur Benedictine DOM goes back to a recipe from the year 1510. However, a good 3 centuries were to pass before it achieved world fame.In fact, the Benedictine had been forgotten until 1863, when the French merchant Alexandre Le Grand came across the secret formula in inherited documents. It is he who, after some experiments, brings the Benedictine DOM on the market and thus makes the bar world a bit richer.
