Carrube

the Liquorificio Rospini has a story led by women, born in fact from the enterprising spirit of Giovanna Ruospo who was able to turn her own passion into an artisanal liqueur distillery, and it is here that Carrube is produced

Carrube

Passion, as we know, can move mountains, in this case the sea! We are in the land of Puglia, in magical Polignano a mare, a true jewel of the Apulian coast. Here Giovanna has always sought out wild herbs from the Mediterranean scrubland along the coast. To delight her guests and dinner companions, these herbs have always been used in preparing liqueurs rich in the aromas and scents of the local area. Over the years the research and experimentation continued, and appreciation grew step by step. As Giovanna gradually refined her liqueurs, she realised the time had come to share her products more widely and meet the growing demand. Carrubo is a true declaration of love for the Mediterranean scrubland and its scents. It is one of the distillery's products with exceptional character and uniqueness. We make it from carob pods. We harvest it locally in Polignano a mare. It has a unique flavour, sweet and similar to cocoa. A treasure trove of aromatic notes poised between caramel and honey. It pairs wonderfully with ricotta desserts, sorbets and ice creams, and is the perfect way to end a meal! It is made using traditional, strictly artisanal methods that enhance the fruit's properties and allow it to give us all its intensity. With a colour reminiscent of light and sunshine, it releases notes of chocolate and coffee on the nose. Intense and enveloping on the palate. It is an excellent digestif. Try it as an aperitif and serve it ice cold! Unique of its kind, it is born from a love of nature and of the typical plants of the Mediterranean scrubland. Carrubo is a long-lived tree, slow-growing, known since ancient times. Its fruit is the carob, a pod that can contain up to about fifteen seeds.
