The Pabordessa Ratafia is a handmade ratafia made in the Monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès based on a traditional recipe recovered by the Benedictine monks. This Catalan liqueur combines the maceration of green walnuts with a careful selection of herbs and aromatic spices, offering an authentic, complex, and deeply rooted expression in the country's liqueur tradition. The Pabordessa stands out for its balance between sweetness, bitterness, and a rich aromatic range that evokes forest, herbs, and spices, keeping alive the spiritual and historical essence of its origin. Tasting notes: - Sight: Dark amber color, intense and bright, with mahogany reflections. - Nose: Deep and evocative aromas of green walnut, cinnamon, cloves, medicinal herbs, and a balsamic background. - Palate: Sweet and smooth entry, with a creamy texture and a complex mouthfeel. Well-integrated bitter and spicy notes, with a long, warm, and harmonious finish. Recommended pairing: The Pabordessa is ideal as a digestive, neat or on the rocks. It also pairs perfectly with desserts such as cocas, dark chocolate, nuts, or aged cheeses. It can be used in cocktails or to add a special touch to sauces and reductions in meat dishes. This ratafia is a tribute to ancestral knowledge and monastic patience, with its own personality and a deeply rooted character in the territory. An excellent choice for lovers of traditional liqueurs and those seeking a drink with soul, complexity, and history.
