How to make African liquor?
First of all, it is necessary to remember that "Amarula" is a cream liquor. This partly affects the technology of its manufacture. It all starts with the harvest. Ripe fruits are delivered to the plant, where they are washed, cleaned of thin skin and seeds are extracted. After that, the mass remains in special containers for fermentation. As a result of fermentation, alcohol is formed in it, which then enters the next stage of the process - distillation. The resulting liquid is the basis of the future liquor. Then it is poured into oak barrels and left for two years for ripening. After time, the alcohol-containing composition is mixed with the extract obtained by insisting of the fruit of the manula. The drink acquires a certain taste and aroma. At the last stage, cream is added to it.
And so it turns out “Amarula”, a cream-liquor from distant Africa with an unusual taste and wonderful aroma. After that, it is bottled in branded bottles and sent for sale to different countries of the world.
