Ruavieja Licor de Hierbas is a traditional herbal liqueur from Galicia, in north-western Spain, and has been considered an integral part of the region’s culinary culture for decades. Made from a carefully balanced selection of Mediterranean herbs and roots, this liqueur combines subtle bitter notes with a pleasantly sweet, harmonious base. Since 1889, the Ruavieja brand has been producing high-quality spirits according to a family recipe – always with the aim of harmonising regional craftsmanship and natural flavours.

For Licor de Hierbas, the herbs are traditionally macerated and then blended with high-quality spirit and sugar. With an alcohol content of 30 % vol., the liqueur is balanced, robust and yet soft in character. Its subtle spiciness and aromatic depth make it the ideal digestif, which reveals its full character when enjoyed neat – preferably well chilled.

The classic 0.7-litre bottle in the distinctive Ruavieja design emphasises the traditional character of this speciality and is perfect for convivial evenings, as part of a Spanish tasting session or as a premium addition to your home bar.
