Zeppi's Harruba 70cl

Alcohol Level: 21%

The carob tree, in Maltese called “Harruba” (Ceratonia siliqua), has been a prominent component of the Maltese vegetation for several centuries. Zeppi’s Ħarruba is made using carob beans, which are crushed, roasted, and boiled to produce a syrupy liquid with aromas and colour reminiscent of cocoa to which orange is then added. This liqueur is perfect after a meal, served neat or with ice. Harmless sediment may form at the bottom of the bottle due to the nature of the product.  Traditionally, carob beans are also used to produce carob syrup “gulebb tal-Harrub”, which is still used as soothing medicinal for the sore throats, as well as “karamelli” which were once considered the only permissible sweet during Lent.
