In Caldas da Rainha there is a place that hides the most delicious recipes. The specialty of this family business is ginja and liqueurs.
The history of this city is closely linked to the medieval tradition of Óbidos. The microclimate of the western zone favors the production of sour cherries and other fruits. In 2005, the family responsible for the factory added a different touch to the tradition: salted caramel . The brand's goal was to innovate, without ever forgetting the original recipes.
Thus, the liqueur was born, combining the sweetness of caramel with fleur de sel from Castro Marim. To these ingredients, only water, sugar and 16% alcohol are added. This recipe is original, as a liqueur with a salted caramel flavour had never been created before.
New Men has already tried it and assures you that it is worth it. This is the kind of drink that goes well on any occasion, be it after an afternoon coffee or after dinner. Especially if you want to create a sweet moment. The compliments range from the shape of the bottle to the flavor that unsettles and satisfies the palate.
The relationship between liqueur and good times is one of the company's priorities. So, during the festive season, when you get the whole family together, don't forget to visit one of the points of sale. A kiosk recently opened at Spacio Shopping, in Olivais. In December, you can also count on a space dedicated to Chocolicor at Strada Outlet, Alegro Montijo, and at Arena Shopping, in Torres Vedras.
If you decide to buy online, keep in mind that only purchases over 25 euros are exempt from delivery fees. Our advice is: when you want to order, in addition to this liqueur, also ask for a traditional ginja. Try it “Caldas d'Óbidos” . The ingredients are the same, but all ginjas have something that sets them apart, in this case it is a recipe that has been improved and well preserved for 30 years.
When major events and craft fairs are allowed again, you will certainly find one of these liquor stands there. From the North to the South of the country, you already know that there is always a liquor waiting for you.
