(Madame Rosa Distillery).
This
is a unique and rare opportunity to experience a spirit
that has never been in our market before. Fenny (alternately
spelled Feni) is a spirit distilled from either coconut
sap or, in this case, the cashew apple that grows below
the well-known cashew nut. Though other countries produce
spirits from the cashew apple, Cashew Fenny is unique
to Goa, India's 'Riviera' and a Portuguese colony until
1961. The pungent cashew apples are picked, foot-trodden
and then fermented. After three days of fermentation,
traditionally in mud pots but now more commercially
in stainless steel tanks, the product is then triple
distilled. Afterward the high alcohol is cut with spring
water to bring it into line with most 40-45% alc./vol.
drinks. Cashew Fenny is a unique taste experience. Many
Goans drink it neat, but, for the international set,
we recommend it on ice, with soda water and lemon or
with a variety of fruit juices. It also works as an
excellent partner with the Goan dish -Chicken Xacuti.
