Ratafia Bosch The production of Ratafia Bosch follows an artisanal process that has been passed down from generation to generation. The base of ratafia is brandy, to which green walnuts and a variety of herbs and spices are added. These herbs include, among others, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, fennel, and mint. The exact combination of ingredients is a well-kept secret of the Bosch family. The green walnuts are harvested around the feast of San Juan, on June 24th, when they are at their peak of freshness and aroma. After harvesting, the walnuts and herbs are macerated in brandy for a period of time that can vary, but is usually 40 days. During this time, the brandy acquires the flavors and aromas of the walnuts and herbs, creating a rich and complex infusion. Once the maceration is complete, the mixture is carefully filtered to remove any solid remains. Then, sugar is added and the mixture is left to rest so that the flavors integrate and the liquor acquires its characteristic sweet balance. The resting process can last several months, allowing the ratafia to develop its full aromatic profile. Ratafia Bosch is ideal for enjoying as a digestif after meals, thanks to its digestive properties and its smooth and sweet flavor. It can also be used in baking, adding a special touch to traditional desserts such as cakes and pies. In summary, Ratafia Bosch is an artisanal liquor that reflects the tradition and richness of Catalan culture. Its careful production and selection of natural ingredients give it an unmistakable flavor and exceptional quality, which have been valued and enjoyed for over a century.
