Sometimes we just want something simple yet elegant to add a whole new dimension to a favorite drink or dessert. Or maybe we just want a quick bite of something sweet, filling and satisfying for just that bit of guilty pleasure. Or we are looking for just that perfect gift. When that time comes say hello to Griottines!
Grottines are Morello Cherries soaked in a grand symphony of liqueurs according to an age old secret recipe. Griottines are a taste of ancient Europe distilled into a flavor burst that will intrigue and excite your taste for what is yet to be. Eat them at any time of day, add them to desserts, aperitifs and cocktails to turn every event into a party!
Griottines® are made using a very special type of Morello cherry, the Oblachinska cherry found only in the Balkans. To conserve the unique flavour and physical characteristics of the fruit, the first maceration of the cherries in liqueur takes place within six hours of picking. After rigorous sorting, grading and de-stoning, the Morello cherries are then steeped in different liqueurs for successive macerations based on age-old know-how and secrets. The last maceration provides the final touch of Kirsch which is the hallmark of Griottines, or as a wonderfully harmonious alternative, Cointreau.
