Teichenne Schnapps 
Schnapps vs. Liqueurs There's some confusion about what the difference is between schnapps and liqueurs. Schnapps are not another synonym for liqueur. Indeed, Schnapps are different from liqueurs on two major fronts. Schnapps are when the fruits are fermented and distilled producing the clear Schnapps. Similar method to the producing Brandy except Brandy is matured in oak barrels (which gives brandy their colour) where Schnapps aren’t hence its clarity. Liqueurs are simply fruits steeped in cold alcohol (maceration) or warm alcohol (infusion). The alcohol has already been fermented and distilled. This process is how liqueurs get their colour. Traditionally, Schnapps had no sugar added and were definitely an acquired taste of over 40% alcohol. Today, Schnapps often refers to sweeter variety of only 20% to 24% alcohol. Teichenne uses refined sugar in the formulation process and purified water in the final formulation process. Fermentation - The process in which yeast turns the sugars present on raw materials into alcohol Distillation: The process of separating the components of a mixture by differences in boiling point; a vapour is formed from the liquid by heating the liquid in a vessel and successively collecting and condensing the vapours into liquids.

Origins in Depth Teichenne, S.A. In 1956, Juan Teichenne Senaux, an independent oenologist, had launched the family winery Teichenne S.A. in the small town of L'Arbo (40 miles south of Barcelona). Born in France, Mr. Teichenne had arrived to Spain as part of the French wine industry's search for new production sources and established in Catalonia. In those early days, production was very small and handmade, based on Brandy and liqueurs made out to be sold locally in the Pened's Region. Expansion didn't start until the seventies, when Joan Teichenne Canals became general manager of the company, after his father death. Looking back, one realizes what a challenge it was to create such a variety of high quality products and a big assortment of fancy bottles, most of which were designed by Juan Teichenne himself. Sales increased dramatically after setting up the company's own distribution network in Catalonia. The next step was to cover Spain; Teichenne led, in the eighties, the boom of the Schnapps drinking fashion. These sweet fruit liqueurs also opened doors to international markets which have grown significantly ever since. The continuous production increase left the factory in L'Arbo too small. A brand new plant in Bellvei Del Pened's was acquired in 1994. As a result, Teichenne produces around 3 million litres a year of alcoholic beverages (in more than 200 lines) which have been introduced in more than 25 countries.
