A pharmacist named Kunze crafted the famous Riga Black Balsam recipe in 1752. First balsam (herbal extract) recipes in Riga were found from 16th century, however pharmacists’ records do not keep the exact date. Riga pharmacist Kunze was accused in press of “borrowing his recipe” from the records above in 1737. In 1752 Kunze produced his famous drink already at industrial volumes. According to the tradition only the Head Liquor Master and his two apprentices know the secret recipe. The recipe was utterly lost in 1939 when German population left Latvia before Soviet occupation. After the WWII in 5 years the recipe was carefully restored from shreds by joint effort of former employees. Since then the recipe is unchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CaskCartel.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42889617014922,"sku":"","price":177.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/2395\/7103\/products\/38_3aa2079b-1e24-4e4f-9a6b-d997f5464166.png?v=1680945512","url":"https:\/\/caskcartel.com\/en-be\/products\/riga-black-balsam-espresso-200ml","provider":"CaskCartel.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
