Introducing our Moravian Orange Brandy Cookie Moravian history oozes out of this exceptionally thin, crisp cookie. First a little orange citrus is detected on the tongue. Delicate notes of flowery fruitiness with sweet hints of vanilla and butterscotch bring your palate to life. The finish is exquisitely clear, fresh with aromatic hints of cloves and allspice that leave the taste buds jolly.

A Taste of Moravian History

In 1753 on the Carolina frontier, the Moravians purchased 100,000 acres which came to be known as Der Wachau, Latin for Wachovia. Its name originated from the ancestral estate of Count Von Zinzendorf, the Moravian patron. Carved out of the wilderness, the first Moravian settlement of Bethabara, present day Winston-Salem was established. Within three years one of the earliest distilleries in Colonial America was completed. From that original log distillery, the fruity, rich fragrance of brandy and whiskey filled the air, and freshly brewed beer was enjoyed in the tavern. The very flavorful brandy eventually found its way into some early Moravian recipes.
