Gran Torres is made in Spain from Valencia orange peel steeped in aged brandy, flavoured with herbs such as thyme and rosemary, and with orange blossom honey. Cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, coffee and molasses also add to the flavour.

It is aged in oak barrels.

Its orange flavour is more subtle than in other orange liqueurs; more of the brandy taste comes through.

Made by the Torres company in Barcelona, founded in 1800, and which is still family run.

Alcohol content is 39% abv.

Cooking Tips
