I’ve grown fond of Génépi – a local Savoyard liqueur infused with a mountain herb. Sweet, a little perfumy – yes – but it’s a great digestive. Nothing cuts through a fondu like it. But, as I have discovered today, you need to be beware what you buy. Bought a bottle for 11euro (on the right, below) in the local Sherpa – yellow (not golden) watery and artificial, yuck! The one on the left was 19euro and the genuine article. You probably get what you pay for. Best bet is to try them in the deli in Praz.
