Amarula Cream Liqueur

Amarula Cream Liqueur

Fresh, smooth and well-rounded. Full creamy taste with hints of exotic marula fruit, in taste and after.

This is their original Cream Liqueur. Made from the delicious marula fruit of sub-Equatorial Africa, the marula spirit is distilled and aged in French oak for two years. It is then blended with their velvety cream to create the smooth taste of Amarula – best savoured over ice, preferably with a view.

Amarula is inspired by the generosity of spirit of the marula tree. As the tree shares its carefree gift of joy with the elephants and community, so too do we honour this symbiotic ecosystem, from soil to hands and glass (and beyond).

Amarula and the elephants are intimately connected through our African roots and the marula fruit. We created the Amarula Trust in 2008 with the aim to safeguard the African elephants. With less than 400,000 elephants left in the world, and their numbers decreasing at an alarming rate, we are going to work together with organisations to help protect our elephants and safeguard our heritage – so that in the years to come we can continue meeting them beneath the marula trees.

There is just one place on earth where the marula trees grow – across Africa’s subequatorial plains. And there is just one time of year when the marula trees bear their exotic fruit – at the height of our beautiful summer.

The size of small plums but oval in shape, the marula fruit ripens to a rich yellow, with a tough outer skin surrounding its fibrous, white flesh. Containing four times more vitamin C than the average orange, marula is a succulent fruit with a citrus tang and a creamy, nutty taste.

Archaeological evidence of marula fruit can be dated back as far as 10 000 BC with traces of marula kernels found in the ancient Pomongwe Cave of Zimbabwe. The smooth, light brown seed inside each marula fruit protects its oil-rich kernels which are an essential source of nutrition and have anti-oxidant as well as moisturising properties.
