The marula tree grows throughout the province where I live. The fruit from the marula tree is apparently much loved by giraffes, warthogs and even elephants, but it is a myth that such animals get drunk from eating a large amount of fermented fruit.

Nonetheless, the fruit is, indeed, used to make a delicious liqueur called Amarula, which is very smooth and flavorful and even available for purchase in the States. Recently, we discovered some chocolates with Amarula flavored cream centers. Now that’s a combination of flavors that was meant to happen. Yum!
