What is Galician brandy?
Aguardiente is a type of liquor that exists in various forms around the world and is made by distilling fermented fruit. In Galicia, the term Aguardiente specifically refers to a type of white pomace brandy. This is a spirit obtained by distilling the pomace, also called grape skins or pomace, which are the remnants of the grapes after fermentation. If it were a yellow pomace brandy, it would be more commonly known as herbal liqueur.
To make Aguardiente de Augavella, the Mencía grape pomace from the Ribeira Sacra region, left over after the harvest, is used.
So what is the difference between aguardiente and orujo?
The difference between aguardiente and orujo is basically that aguardiente would be a generic name for any distilled beverage made from a fermented fruit, while orujo would specifically be the type of aguardiente obtained from the skin of fermented grapes.
With this in mind, it is important to note that in Galicia, pomace brandy is so important that it is simply known as "brandy".
How do you drink Galician brandy?
In Galicia, aguardiente is indispensable for many people after meals, enjoyed with a splash or a few drops of coffee. But aguardiente can also be taken as a shot at various times of the day and, above all, is a key ingredient in queimada, making it the perfect drink.
