Rum recipes made by hand… and with the heart
At Halto, don't look for a factory with miles of bottling lines and an avalanche of futuristic robots. In our workshop, only the nimble fingers of our small team are busy concocting a different kind of French alcohol for you. Thanks to their meticulous know-how, they bring to life arranged rums with creative and delicious recipes , which take the time to infuse in our five stainless steel vats.
Even the bottling is done by hand: this human-scale operation allows us to carry out careful control at each stage of the preparation of our arranged rums. Enough to guarantee you rum tastings that live up to your taste buds. And besides, Halto artisanal arranged rum means recipes without colorings or flavorings! Why chemically transform products imagined and crafted with care?
Moreover, we are proud to be recognized as a Quality Artisan Producer by the Collège Culinaire de France , founded among others by the great Chefs Yannick Alléno, Anne-Sophie Pic, Frédéric Anton and Alain Ducasse. Pretty cool, right? Concretely, this means that our craftsmanship, at once unique, sustainable and transparent, contributes to the fight against the industrialization and standardization of gastronomy. No wonder our Bordeaux canelé rum arrangé received the Prix Épicures d'Or 2023! If you are looking for a rum-themed gift or a rum arrangé box set to treat yourself, you know which recipe to order with your eyes closed...
Artisanal rum, yes, but made in France, please!
The backbone of each of our rums? The crème de la crème of agricultural rum, aka Martinique agricultural rum , produced under the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (Controlled Designation of Origin). The sugarcane grown on the Flower Island is renowned for its quality, as is the expertise of the local distilleries, governed by rigorous specifications. That's why an arranged rum from Martinique is never forgotten!
The subtlety and fruity aromas of our white agricultural rum blend delicately with the French ingredients we choose to infuse it with. Because in addition to this French brandy, each Halto artisanal rum showcases its own regional specialty in a surprising way.
Among these must-haves of French culinary heritage: the to-die-for candied chestnuts from Ardèche from Clément Faugier , the IGP Menton lemon candied by the master artisan jam maker La Cour d'Orgères , the Bordeaux canelé from the famous Maison Baillardran , the Montélimar nougat shaped according to tradition by the master nougat makers of Chabert & Guillot , and even the Alsace gingerbread from the artisan house Fortwenger . In short, each Halto artisanal rum recipe has its own sublime French terroir, where we love to stop for an aperitif or a meal!
And what about the production of these perfect drinks for a unique aperitif? It takes place in France, of course! Our workshop is based in the heart of the Drôme region, under the sun of Montélimar…
French arranged rums with their feet on the ground
At Halto, you'll have understood, priority is given to local: all our ingredients are sourced in our French regions ( bye bye Florida oranges or exotic fruits from Asia). A choice that allows you to combine business with pleasure in one sip: limiting the carbon footprint of your artisanal rum, while tasting the unexpected in the already-seen...
But that's not all. Our beautiful bottles reflect a genuine concern for preserving our beloved blue planet: our labels are printed on recycled paper, our glass bottles are recyclable, and our new organic cork stoppers can also live multiple lives. Even our cork heads (those little discs at the top of the cork) come from eco-sourced wood. Yes, the devil is in the details when it comes to limiting our impact on the environment!
Finally, the delivery of our products is CO2 neutral thanks to our Colissimo shipments. And then, when you receive your irresistible box of artisanal arranged rum , you don't even need to open your recycling bin to throw away the delivery box: it, completely compostable with the water-based ink used, can help fertilize your garden. A way to give back to the earth what it offers us...
