Corfu Kum Kuat

[Nymfes]

Nymfes

Looking like a small orange, but it comes in a variety of flavours when distilled, even chocolate! The main manufacturer (grower) is at Nymfes.

Originating from South China, the tree grows up to 2.5 meters high and was imported in 1860. The citrus fruit, looks like a tiny plum shaped orange and is distilled to make the liqueur.

The Nymphae cooperative was established in 1981, aiming at the collection, processing, manufacturing and marketing of Kum Quat. The 'Golden orange' or Corfu Delicious cooperative produces - liqueurs , marmalades and fruits preserved in syrup. All of these can be found at supermarkets, souvenir shops and at the airport.

Resident experts, Harry and Maraika of Spiridon Street, Corfu town, offer an excellent selection and are very friendly - you will probably end up being invited in for tea!
