Licor Ginja de Óbidos Oppidum

Challenge, inspiration and passion drove Dario Pimpão to make a natural Ginja with no colourings or additives, from high-quality ingredients. Oppidum's great secret is that it uses only the best fruit to obtain a pure, aromatic liqueur with balanced alcohol, which offers a smooth, complete, full-bodied flavour. It all starts with selecting fruit picked from Morello trees (ginjeiras) in orchards (ginjais) of growers who have supplied Morello cherries (ginjas) for decades. It has been shown that the less cultivated the Morello trees, the more astringent the fruit and the better the final product. Each stem is carefully removed and, once at our premises, the fruit goes into an alcoholic hydro-infusion where it stays for several months until it reaches the desired stage, in a long process that requires a lot of patience and knowledge, evolving over time. By its very nature, ageing is long-term, and any attempt to speed up the process can be disastrous for the result.
