| HIGY
is a firm with its roots in Alsace, based in Mulhouse since
it was started in 1922. Fernand Higy was the company's founder
and originated the recipe for Melfor, a unique product on the
vinegar market. Melfor, a condiment based of alcohol vinegar,
honey and an infusion of plants known since time immemorial
has been singularly successful in Eastern France. More than
8 out of 10 homes in Haut-Rhin, Bas-Rhin and Moselle use it
regularly.
Why is it
so successful ?
Melfor is used like other vinegars. It is the ideal seasoning
for salads and crudités and the perfect base for a
good vinaigrette dressing. But its success is especially due
to its mildly sharp, well balanced taste. Alsace folk know
about food and maintain their culinary traditions by passing
its use on from generation to generation.
A family company, Higy is run by Bernard and Daniel Higy,
the founder's grandsons. It is through their efforts that
Melfor is now popular in Paris, the Rhone-Alps region, the
South and more recently in Northern France.
