What is brandy<\/h2>\n

It is called schnapps<\/strong> to a alcoholic beverage<\/strong> which is obtained through a process of distillation<\/strong>. It is produced from the fermentation of different cereals, fruits and other products of agricultural origin.<\/p>\n

Fermentation takes place when certain microorganisms act on the sugars in the raw material and generate alcohol. Specifically, of the saccharose<\/strong> present in the plant, grain or fruit, the ethanol<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Arabs played a fundamental role as they created the you will let<\/strong> and the alembics<\/strong> used to distill. In these vessels equipped with ducts<\/strong> Liquids could be heated to separate the distilled substances.<\/p>\n

The Arab incursion into Spanish territory contributed to spreading these techniques<\/strong> on the European continent. At the beginning of the Middle Ages<\/strong>, the methods used to achieve distillation had already been perfected.<\/p>\n
