WACHAU, AUSTRIA - One company is making sure that something other than rain pours this April, promoting apricots in the process.
Family-owned Bainoli’s Apricot Liquer is distilled from apricots that are overripe, pitted, and then mashed, comprising 60% of the final product at the end of the two-year-long process and adding a tasty twist to the stonefruit category.
“Hand-selected apricots are de-stoned, pressed and processed into apricot juice, providing the base product for Bailoni Apricot Liqueur,” the company said in a press release, which described April as going hand-in-hand with apricots for the Wachau, Austria region.
“The apricot blossoming every April is a feast for the eyes for every visitor to the Wachau. The fruits are fully ripened by the end of July, when they are harvested,” the company explained in the release, to which they then become a spirit with 40% alc/vol described as having a full and fruity apricot aroma, exceptionally rich in apricot flavor, according to the website.
And the U.S. can enjoy this clever way to consume produce.
Bailoni Apricot Liqueurs can be found in specialty spirit and wine shops in most key U.S. markets, with more information available at www.hpsepicurean.com.
Cheers!
