Origin and production
Since morellos originally grew up in the Black Forest area of ​​Germany, kirschwasser is believed to have originated there.
Kirschwasser is colorless because it is not old in wood or aged in a barrel made of ash. It may have been old in paraffin-lined wood barrels or in pottery vessels. '
In France and in English-speaking countries, the fruit brandy is clearly known as eaux de vie. The EU sets a minimum of 37.5% ABV (75 proofs) for such products; kirschwasser usually has an alcohol content of 40% -50% ABV (80-100 proof). About 10 kilograms (22 pounds) of cherries goes into the manufacture of 750 ml of kirschwasser bottles.
Food
Kirsch is sometimes used in Swiss fondue and some cakes, such as Zuger Kirschtorte. It is also commonly used in dessert of cherry jubilee.
It is used in the traditional German SchwarzwÃÆ'¤lder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake) and other cakes - for example in a Gugelhupf cake.
Kirsch can also be used in chocolate filling. A typical kirsch chocolate consists of no more than a milliliter of kirsch, surrounded by milk or (more usually) dark chocolate with a hard sugar film between two parts. Hard sugars act as chassis that can not be cooled for liquid content and also compensate for the lack of sweetness typical of kirsch. Swiss Chocolate Lindt & amp; SprÃÆ'¼ngli and Camille Bloch, among others, make this chocolate kirsch.
In popular culture
In the song Steely Dan "Babylon Sisters", the narrator shows that he and his partner will go to San Francisco and "drink Kirschwasser from the shell".
