In today's episode of our ongoing Goan food tour series we have embarked on a journey to discover the popular Goan spirit called Feni.
Feni is a traditional liquor of Goa that is distilled from the fermented juice of cashew apple. It has been a part of the Goan Food Tradition for over 400 years.
To understand the spirit closely, we have arrived at a cellar cum distillery owned by Hansel Vaz, a cellar curator, that is situated in the midst of a beautiful cashew orchard at the foothills of Cuelim Monte in South Goa. To take it to a global level, he has created the world’s first Feni Cellar.
When we reached there Hansel gave us a brief history of Feni. He then walked us through different sections of his orchard to enlighten us about the stages of Feni making.
Hansel anecdotes were like a travel in time. With his unique initiative, he wishes to involve both the new-generation Goans and the tourist into a wonderful experience.
The cellar is clearly a visual treat, as it houses numerous multicoloured garrafões (large-bellied glass bottles) to store the Feni. Everything inside the cellar - from the garrafões to its lime-washed walls and the double-layered tiles on the roof - was a manifestation of the Goan aesthetics. The cellar is also much cooler than its surroundings.
As we walked in to taste the three types: cashew, coconut and a root called dukshiri we knew that it would be a memorable experience. Hansel in his fascinating anecdotal style encouraged us to understand the different variants of Feni through smell, palate and bouquet. He also offered some interesting Feni cocktails to portray it's versatility.
The heady evening ended with some food pairing session featuring Goan things. This spirit was truly a revelation and we clearly admire its 400 plus years old legacy.

thanks
I never knew Shankar mahadevan had so much knowledge about fenni culture too.
Quite interesting!!!!!!
😂😂
i work in mysterious ways!
@@hanselvaz7387 😍
I always wondered what the procedure was. What an amazing way of processing it. I think alcohol is enjoyed even more when one knows what the source is and how it was made. Thanks for this bud!
Amazing...what passion he has for feni! My greatest memory of feni is first time I had it...two drinks and nothing happening...and I was like, ye to bahut weak hai, dost kya bol rahe the ke ye bahut strong hai...so I ordered a 3rd drink and then it hit me...by the time the 3rd drink came i was almost falling off the chair....feni araam se nahi chadti...it literally goes from 0-100 in 5 seconds :-)
Finally got to meet d guy behind Cazulo Feni ...just love Cazulo Feni....thanks for bringing out the history behind Feni...d symbol of Goa
As far as I know, potato was also introduced in India by the Portuguese.
As a whisky enthusiast., That's a damn good episode.
Can you please make an episode which will cover every single rural alcohol.
It will be good for promotion.
Cheer's.
Hello bewde😂😂
I second that 👌🏼
Truly an encyclopedia and what an interactive session, felt like attending a workshop virtually 😀
Remembering the good ol' days in Mumbai, then Bombay. Guzzling down litres of Feni with my Goan friends and then feasting in Khau Gulli, Byculla. Oh well ! Those were the carefree days.....I miss a LOT ! By the way, gr8 video.
Dear Hansel Sir, your knowledge is amazing and also the way you explain can be a guide to many ,
This video release was so unexpected.I almost questioned myself whether today is Saturday!
That Feni guy sure knows what he's talking about...in Fiji 🇫🇯we have coconut feni only so naturally this is quite informative for me👌
Very informative . My first trip to Goa was i think in 1993/4 and then in 1996. I think it was at that time promoted as a poor man’s liquor/drink. Also it was an acquired taste. I think now the perception has changed . I’m dying to visit India, once the pandemic is over. Thank you for sharing your amazing videos 🙏🏼
The host is truly an encyclopaedia of feni and drinks amazing 👍👍👍 I think Anubhav you should make episodes of other viillage drinks in india like neera etc thank you really enjoyed the episode
The host is owner of Goa's Biggest Liquor mall.. Vaaz enterprises south Goa
He is very enthusiastic of feni .. love it
Thank you Mr. Vaz for sharing your culture, the tour of the Feni distillery. Loved it.
Adding this place to my bucket list. Such amazing host. 👏 Lot of respect for you sir
Love this video. Love from Pakistan. Would love to try some Fenni, specially with this scholar!
Educational video about history of fenni and also teaches how to njoy it exactly with different combination of food.
Anubhav sir 🔥🔥🔥
The first time you see this guy allowing the experts to speak.
Informative one👍👍
This goan’s man Hindi is crazyyy
I'm proud of it haha
People like him should be invited in a seminars and conference, quite informed and knowledgeable guy, one of the best episode.
Hansel sir just changed the perception of alcohol, it's taste, flavour. I always related with how high you can be. Never think it in this way. Amazing
Thank you anubhav sir and Hansel sir
goa series is the best till date.
All time favourite food
Best Goa Journey Playlist
Because of the selection of locals who shared best of the Goa
A whole lecturer on every aspect of "Fenni". Are you prompting or promoting for Fenni? 😀
Aam khao yaar ghutli mat gino.
For feni...
Only if what you wrote made sense.
Sir, I believe there is nothing wrong in this promote your own country instead of consuming foreign Liquor give revenue to the country
Super info. He is explaining very well
Best information given by fenni lover
Brilliant documentary 👏👏👏
awesome episode....
Loved learning about the HISTORY of how tomatoes, chili and cashews came here!
Thanks for sharing this journey ✨
Bahut hi shaandaar
Superb video!!
The whole video gave me an impression of teacher and student vibe
Wonderful episode sir ji
Excellent
The knowledge of host is unbeatable 🙏🏼
Interesting 👍👌
Good and top info about feni
What a command over Feni. When i been to Goa in 1993, the bar attender offered me Cashew Feni first day & then Coconut Feni on second day. That day onwards, i had only Coconut Feni. I must say that Mr. Hansel should conduct few more sessions on this topic. People who visits Goa in search of liqour should aware the way to enjoy the drink. Its not only liquor but its a culture of Goa. Anubhavaji, a very special thanks to you for including Feni as a part of Food Culture.
Well explained brother... cheers.. keep Rocking sir..
🤗 I am waiting for your video
Nice 👍
Bhai ye jo host hai.encylopedia hai.
Great knowledge.great man.
सुंदर...अनुभव सर...
What an awesome expert connoisseur..narrator
This interviewer looks so bored! Not even asking any questions! I dislike interviewers who talk too much but this man is not even asking the right questions. And Mr Bas is so enthusiastic! Wonderful walk thru man!
Look at him in every episode.. no enthusiasm no high emotion .. You won't find person like him .. it's very rare . Whoever says anything with lot of centiments or hoping for same kind of respond gonna have a bad time. He just eats & feels everything in it .. He can't feel anything & I am dead serious about it . I am not talking about himself or anything personal with him . It's a personality read from my side
Informative
This Episode was really very interesting and efforts from Mr. Hansel Vaz for the product and his passion can be seem. Specially the GI part.
Congratulations Mr. Anubhav your new episodes are more like virtual tours to different parts of India exploring history and food.

Congrats sir for 900k
Unfortunately, i have tasted the Cazulo Feni (his product) and it falls short in front of many other local products.
All his knowledge and process doesn't culminates into a good Feni.
Irrespective, i am a fan of this man's knowledge.
Concept of alcohol and underground fermentation was introduced in Ayurveda before 5000 years ago in the form of Arishta/Asava when there were no Romans,Dutch,Portuguese etc. Even today many ayurvedic alcoholic preparations are done in mud pots. Draksharishta/Drakshasava is INDIAN traditional wine used by fully herbs even preservatives r also herbs, many use sulphites as preservatives used for thousands of years. Port wine, Sula are non comparable to the quality of draksharishta.
Very informative. Thank you ❤️
🤗🤗✌✌👌👌
26:18 First Indian who pronounced Dessert properly on TH-cam.
My family used to be in feni production some 35 years back on large scale, we used to take large cashew plantation on auction from govt. Later production of cashew feni became unviable and as a result, our family shifted to other occupation. We used to have all those big jars in our old house but sadly family dispute ruined everything including the old house.
Sad dude.
Sad ... Where was this?
Very good info provided by host on feni. This is the only video where Anubhav was silent, may be the this area is not his forte, but liked it.
The host is really a liquor scientist.
Wonderful stories. Kindly do a tour in d North East as well
Wow wow wow. So informative. Love it
Brilliant episode.
