Ratafia Russet

Ratafia Russet: The Classical Tradition of La Garrotxa

Ratafia Russet is, without a doubt, the ultimate icon of traditional liqueur from La Garrotxa. Crafted in Olot since 1903, this bottle keeps a century-old family recipe truly alive. For this reason, it is the ideal choice for those seeking the authentic flavor of yesteryear. Its careful selection of green walnuts and wild herbs makes it an essential treasure for any traditional after-dinner gathering.

It stands out first of all for its intense dark brown color with very clean and bright amber highlights. On the nose it offers a very rich and deep aromatic fragrance where the character of well-defined green walnuts predominates, accompanied by spicy notes of nutmeg and cinnamon that blend harmoniously with a background of medicinal and wild forest herbs. On the palate it proves to be an incredibly pleasant, mellow, and velvety liqueur, standing out above all for a beautifully integrated sweetness that perfectly balances the bitter touch of the walnuts, leaving a very long, round, and comforting aftertaste.

Ratafia Russet is the perfect companion for after-dinner moments and celebrations. In fact, it pairs exceptionally well with the classic San Juan cake (coca), as well as traditional carquinyolis, catanies, or panellets. Likewise, it combines magnificently with an assortment of roasted nuts and dark or bitter chocolate, as the sweet touch of the liqueur balances the intensity of the cocoa. Finally, if you are looking for a bolder experience, try serving it alongside blue cheeses or cured goat cheeses to achieve an impressive contrast.
