Orujo is a liquor obtained from the distillation of the pomace of the grape. Orujo is a transparent spirit with an alcohol content over 50 percent. The name orujo comes from the expression "aguardiente de orujo", "pomace eau-de-vie".
Orujo is a popular beverage in the northwest part of Spain, especially in Galicia, Castile-Leon, and Cantabria, the valley of Liebana, where Orujo has become an artisanal craft for some families who after making wine for themselves distillate the pomace in a little pot still. Many high quality distilled spirits have appeared in the last twenty years, including some origin appellations. These are obtained from quality grapes and produced according to the highest standards and are replacing the traditional home made liquor, nowadays only available in small villages.
The term orujo is also sometimes used as a synonym for the pomace of the grape prior to distillation.
