Amarula Cream Liqueur

Amarula Cream Liqueur: The Taste of Africa

Amarula Cream Liqueur is a luxurious, velvety liqueur made from the exotic Marula fruit, native to the wild landscapes of South Africa. This award-winning liqueur is known for its rich, creamy texture and unique fruity-caramel flavor, offering a smooth and indulgent drinking experience.

Unlike other cream liqueurs, Amarula is crafted from real Marula fruit, which grows exclusively in the African sub-Saharan region. Once hand-harvested, the fruit is fermented, distilled, and aged in French oak barrels for two years before being blended with fresh dairy cream. The result is a liqueur with a delicate balance of fruitiness, warmth, and velvety smoothness.

Production & Ingredients

Amarula’s unique taste comes from its careful selection of natural ingredients and traditional craftsmanship:

• Marula Fruit – Often referred to as the "Fruit of the Elephants," this golden, plum-like fruit has a distinctive, tangy-sweet flavor.

• French Oak Barrel Aging – The fermented and distilled Marula spirit is aged for two years, allowing it to develop warm, woody, and caramelized notes.

• Fresh Dairy Cream – A luxurious blend of high-quality cream gives Amarula its smooth, silky texture.

• Vanilla & Caramel Notes – The aging process and natural ingredients create a rich, well-rounded taste with hints of toffee, chocolate, and vanilla.

With an ABV of 17%, Amarula is delightfully smooth yet full-bodied, making it perfect for sipping, mixing, or enhancing desserts.
