It comes from my grandmother's recipe.
We decided to produce it so that Transmontanos and the whole country could get to know and taste a different kind of sour cherry.
The whole process is conceived in the hot land of Trás-os-Montes so that we can obtain the best flavor and aroma and strict quality control. We planted 4,000 sour cherry trees and built our factory in the middle of the ginjal, all surrounded by the purest and most beautiful nature.
We are different, we have a different sour cherry liqueur.
You can visit our facilities and ginjais and taste our liqueur, and we'll explain the whole production process from harvesting to bottling. You can also buy the products in our local store.
Visits by appointment only.
Ginjinha is a liqueur obtained from the maceration of the sour cherry fruit, similar to the cherry, which is very popular in Portugal.
Sour cherries require similar growing conditions to pears, i.e. they prefer rich, drained and moist soil, although they need more nitrogen and water than sweet cherries.
The liqueur, a dark red color, has the bittersweet taste of sour cherries and may or may not contain the fruit inside.
The tastiest are those that continue to be made by hand using natural ingredients that give the drink a higher quality while maintaining the true flavor of the fruit.
