Maraska Plum Brandy 700ml, traditionally known as Šljivovica, is a classic Croatian fruit rakija made from ripe plums. Maraska uses a special process of fermentation and distillation designed to preserve the fruit's natural flavour and develop the rich plum aroma for which this traditional spirit is known.

Šljivovica is one of the best-known styles of Balkan rakija, with its name derived from šljiva, the Croatian and wider South Slavic word for plum. Unlike grape-based rakija or aromatic fruit varieties such as pear and quince, Šljivovica places ripe plum character at the centre of the spirit.

Behind the bottle is Maraska of Zadar, a Croatian producer whose heritage stretches across more than five centuries of liqueur and spirit production. The modern Maraska company carries forward the remarkable distilling heritage of Zadar, a city internationally associated with Croatian liqueurs and spirits for centuries.

Maraska recommends serving its Šljivovica well chilled, either as an aperitif before a meal or as a digestif afterwards. At 40% Alc./Vol., it provides a traditional introduction to Croatian plum rakija and the broader world of Balkan fruit brandies.
