4. WHERE FROM?

HOW DID OSCO COME ABOUT? ?

It all started with a simple frustration: we couldn’t find a nice drink on nights when we didn’t want alcohol. Everything available was either too sweet, bland, or artificial.

And so, the idea of OSCO was born to offer a new tasting experience. Its fresh, fruity, and perfectly balanced notes will transport you under the southern sun. Low in calories, it’s even better paired with a few green olives. The ideal apéritif to toast as early as Monday night!


WHERE IS OSCO PRODUCED?

OSCO is produced in the south of Tours and in Charente.

WHERE ARE THE VINEYARDS LOCATED?

Our verjus comes from a vineyard in Périgord. It is hand-harvested by Muriel and her team at their organic and HVE-certified estate (High Environmental Value), where they have been perfecting this expertise for over 40 years!

WHERE ARE OSCO'S INGREDIENTS SOURCED FROM?

More than 97% (L’Original and L’Éclat Brut) and 90% (Le Rouge Ardent) of our ingredients come from France. The verjus and grape juice are hand-harvested in Périgord, the plants for our infusions are sourced from France whenever possible, and our natural flavors are made in Provence. The unrefined blonde sugar is Fair Trade certified.
