Maraska Plum Brandy 1L, traditionally known as Šljivovica, is a classic Croatian fruit rakija produced from ripe plums. Maraska uses a specialised process of fermentation and distillation to preserve the fruit's natural taste while developing the rich plum aroma characteristic of the finished spirit.

Šljivovica is one of the most important styles of plum rakija in Croatia and throughout the Balkans. The name comes from šljiva, meaning plum, while internationally the spirit is also commonly searched for as Slivovitz or Sljivovica. Whatever the spelling, authentic Šljivovica is fundamentally a fruit spirit created through the fermentation and distillation of plums.

Behind the bottle is Maraska of Zadar, a Croatian producer with a remarkable heritage spanning centuries of liqueur and spirit production. Maraska continues to produce traditional Croatian rakijas alongside famous liqueurs such as Maraschino, Orahovac, Kruškovac and Pelinkovac.

Maraska recommends serving its Šljivovica well chilled, either before a meal as an aperitif or afterwards as a digestif. The 1-litre format is particularly well suited to entertaining and sharing, while smaller Maraska Plum Brandy formats are also available.
