Because there is such a high demand for the powder, producers were left with a large amount of flesh from the interior of the fruit. This led to the development of a liqueur that is naturally fermented and processed in barrels. Once filtered, processed and refined, the alcohol is a sweet after dinner drink that is aromatic and fruity.
