The liqueur of chestnut of the Orsini domain

Fruity, sweet and delicate, the liqueur of chestnut of the Orsini domain surprises by subtle and intense perfume. Made from Corsican chestnuts, it is elaborated by hand in Calenzana according to old recipes always as original. The Orsini Corsican chestnut liqueur is therefore the result of the quality of a land, a passion and a tradition... and of a long maceration work. Let us recall that the domain has already received several medals at the agricultural competition of Paris and is now part of the best producers of Corsican wines and liquors.

The chestnut and Corsica

According to a famous Corsican proverb, it is said: "A chì un ni hà, un ni mangna. Sé tu voli a farina Va à coglia a castagna" / "He who has nothing does not eat. If you want flour, go pick chestnuts". Indeed, the chestnut has been for a long time the basic food of the Corsican people, commonly called "the breadfruit tree", Pasquale Paoli said it himself: "As long as we have chestnuts, we will have bread".
