General Information

Kum Quat Corfu Liqueur is a traditional Greek liqueur originating from the island of Corfu. This unique specialty is made from the kumquat, a small citrus fruit with a bittersweet taste. Kumquats were brought to Corfu by the British in the 19th century and have since become an important regional product. The liqueur is handcrafted by local distilleries and contains an average of 20% alcohol. This orange fruit liqueur is distinctive both visually and in taste.
