After breakfastwe will take you to the Dudhsagar Plantationwhere you can learn the preparation of world famous local liquor Goa’s FENI. There are 2 types of Feni’s Cashew feni and Coconut feni. Cashew feni is distilled out of the juice of the cashew apples, whereas Coconut Feni is distilled from the toddy collected of the coconut trees. The traditional method of making cashew feni is by the pot still method. The Aroma of Feni is an integral part of the drink, it is generally preferred straight up (with a squeeze of lime) or mixed with soda or 7-Up (Sprite) or Cola. It is also a versatile base that can be used for many cocktails. Just as much as the best wines and white spirits have their base in natural products, so too does feni. Scotch is a product of barley and, of course, the unique water of the Scottish lakes, and Champagne a product of the finest grapes of the Champagne district in France, so is Feni the pure fermented juice of the cashew apple and there is just as much romance and ritual to the growing, harvesting and distillation of Feni. While the Cashew tree is native to South America, it was introduced to Goa by the Portuguese a few hundred years ago. But the uniquely fruity flavored Feni and it’s equally if not more delicious ‘little brother’ Urak were invented here in Goa (Feni was recently awarded Geographical Indication status as a specialty alcoholic beverage from Goa). Cashew is a hardy crop that can make do with little or no irrigation. Hence, it’s often grown on rocky slopes or hills where it’s difficult to cultivate other crops. In Goa, the Cashew season runs roughly from March to May. To produce high quality liquor, only the fully ripe Cashew fruits are collected. Juice is extracted manually by trampling the fruits with the feet. The juice is then fermented for two to three days before the first cycle of destillation. This yields Urak, a comparatively light alcoholic beverage – which we use to make our special longdrink ‘Jungle Juice’. Urak is further distilled to produce the stronger Feni
