Massenez Liqueur de Curacao Bleu Blue Curacao Liqueur 500ml

Curacao is a liqueur flavoured with the dried peels of Larahas, a type of bitter orange grown on the island of Curacao. A non-native plant, Lara has developed from Valencia oranges transplanted by Spanish explorers. While Valencias are sweet, the nutrient-poor soil and arid climate of Curacao changed the fruit's taste, creating the Laraha.  To create the liqueur, the peels of the Laraha are dried, bringing out their sweetly fragranced oils. After soaking in a still with alcohol and water for several days, the peels are removed and other spices are added.  Most Curacao liqueur is produced clear and can have blue, green, orange or red colouring added. The most common blue Curacao is primarily used as an exotic colouring agent in cocktails and other mixed drinks.  Uncompromising on quality, G.E. Massenez is today universally acclaimed for his 'eaux de vie' (fruit brandies) as well as his crème liqueurs. The company has won many awards at international exhibitions.
