They are harvested by the local people and delivered to the production site or central collection points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Damaged or green fruits that still have to ripen are sorted out on a sorting belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In a special machine, rotating blades separate the pulp from the hard seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The resulting fruit pulp is separated from the seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The marula pulp is then pumped into refrigerated stainless steel tanks, which are maintained at a constant temperature of below 8°C to prevent fermentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eNext, the pulp is poured into a tanker and taken to the cellars of the Distell Distillery in Stellenbosch at a constant temperature of below 8°C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e In these cellars, the mash is transferred to fermentation tanks, in which a pure yeast culture is added to initiate the fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The conditions are similar to those of winemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e After the fermentation process is complete, the clear marula wine is transferred to the distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e During fermentation, which takes place at 18°C ​​- 20°C, the natural fructose of the marulas is converted into alcohol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This process takes about 7 to 10 days. During this phase, the solid fruit particles settle to the bottom of the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Marula wine is distilled in copper stills and later aged in small oak barrels to create the characteristic, flavorful marula spirit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter two years of maturation, the final step in the production of Amarula Cream is to add the best fresh cream to the distillate until a smooth, even consistency is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The process of adding cream meets the highest standards.
