Amarula is a cream liqueur from South
Africa made with sugar, cream and the fruit of the African marula tree
(Sclerocarya birrea) which is also locally known as the Elephant tree or the
Marriage Tree. It has an alcohol content of 17% by volume and was first
marketed by Southern Liqueur Company of South Africa (the current trademark
owners and wholly owned subsidiary of Distell Group Limited) as a liqueur in
September 1989.It has the taste of fruity caramel and is widely regarded as
Africa’s award winning cream liqueur.
The world's second-biggest selling
cream liqueur, has launched a dairy-free version named Amarula Marula Gold in
South Africa though Vanilla-Spice flavoured liqueur exists. Once
opened, Amarula cream liqueur should be refrigerated and consumed within a
period of 6 months. The drink is rich in vitamin C and hence offers protection
against scurvy.
