Ratafía Russet is a traditional liqueur from Catalonia, made by Xavier Codina in Olot, a town in the La Garrotxa region. This product stands out for its artisanal production process, which begins with the manual harvesting of green walnuts at the summer solstice, the optimal ripeness time. The walnuts are macerated with aromatic herbs and spices like cinnamon, clove, and nutmeg in a blend of aguardiente and alcohol. This maceration takes place over several months in oak barrels, developing a complex and characteristic flavor profile. After maceration, the mixture is filtered and sweetened with cane sugar before bottling. The result is a liqueur of dark, deep color, featuring intense notes of walnut and spices. This drink is quite versatile; it can be enjoyed cold or on the rocks as an aperitif, as well as a digestif at the end of a meal. Its aromatic flavor is ideal for pairing with traditional Catalan desserts, such as panellets and turrones, and it also goes well with aged cheeses and cold cuts. Furthermore, it can be used in creative cocktails, adding a unique richness to the mixes. Through Ratafía Russet, Xavier Codina not only preserves a centuries-old tradition but also adds a contemporary touch to this classic drink, ensuring exceptional quality and a unique sensory experience.
