Indulge
with Cookies&Crazy’s rich
biscuit-and-chocolate flavour; revel in the dark aromas of freshly ground
coffee and vanilla in Cuppnchino Cream; or, have your taste buds whipped
into creamy, floating bliss with Marshmallow
Pop! Enjoy each liqueur as is or let your imagination run wild. Serve it on
crushed ice, in a mix of dreamy cocktails, as a creation of daring grown-up
milkshakes, or impress your friends by serving up ice cream-with-a-kick or
slightly tipsy cheesecake.
The
liqueurs are made by Nature’s Own, a division since 2012 of Van Loveren, South
Africa’s largest family owned winery. The acquisition, which kick-started
liqueurs including Marula Fruit, Strawberry Delight and Four Cousins Marula
Cream, is directly in line with Van Loveren’s strategy of innovation that has
ensured a varied and successful portfolio. The range has also recently expanded
to include Inca
Caramel Gold – a blend of delicious caramel and premium vodka; and, Ilala
Cream. The liqueurs retail for approximately R100 per
bottle.
Master
blender Jack Thirion – a man famed for his expertise in product development -
was appointed to oversee the operations and ensure the highest standards. The
former Nature’s Own factory was relocated from Cape Town to a state-of-the-art
premises in the village of Bonnievale, in the Robertson Valley. Famed for its
dairy farms and vineyards, the region is the source of the goodness that goes
into each liqueur.
Fresh
cream is received within 24 hours of the liqueur being made, then blended with
high quality spirit and ingredients to produce each delicious
starburst-in-a-bottle.
Today,
Nature’s Own is enjoyed the world over. It is enjoyed in an array of countries
in Southern Africa and further afield including Brazil, New Zealand, the
Netherlands and the USA. It has become yet another success story for Van
Loveren.
Van
Loveren is well known for its superb wines grouped into six well-known brands:
Christina van Loveren, Van Loveren, Papillon, Five’s Reserve, Four Cousins and
the eco-friendly Tangled Tree range. The heart of its farm operations near
Robertson is similarly famous for out-of-the-box food and wine pairings, an
entrancing heritage garden and various, family-friendly outdoor activities.
