- Feni is a rare liquor made from cashew fruit, and it's produced only in Goa, India. While some brands are pushing to take feni to the mainstream, this family has survived by hand making small batches and selling locally.
The Gaonkar family only sells the liquor locally and does not have a website.

How Families In India Are Keeping A 500-Year-Old Cashew Liquor Tradition Alive | Still Standing
People who are disgusted by the boots must have never seen an american winery making wine... Smh.
In case you didn’t see 3:38
@@itsjustmoses4313 I think he meant more that they are just walking bare foot (and earlier sweating) on the same surface where the juice was prepared. I know that people like to pretend it’s just Americans who are abit grossed out by lower hygiene standards but I guarantee you that other countries don’t find this appealing food safety practices.
@@Pak-sac l have watched all episodes of gordon ramsay's kitchen nightmare and 24 hrs to hell and back and I swear even a roadside shitty hotel in india have good hygiene than your so called beautiful from outside and Disgusting from inside restaurants 😂
5:14 if you didn't know
@@tat6379 Thank you for this tight slap to these hypocrites
People talking about hygiene have no idea how wine is made in some areas of italy.
😂😂😂
Was a old technique literally , we use machine to grind and separate the must god dog
Or cheese, i mean that maggoty cheese
Hey love from goa
MOG asu
I have no idea how wine r made anywhere. But yea, the items seen r dirty and well, do make me concern for hygiene.
This has a GI index. Pure feni is found in local bars. The first distillation is Urrak which has a more fruity palette, and is a seasonal drink having a short shelf life. Typically enjoyed during summer. Feni gets better in time. Can be consumed at any time of the year. Proud to be a Goan!!
That’s interesting that urrak is a short shelf life, is it because it’s less alcoholic?
@@namedrop721 Urrak is usually stored or bought in plastic bottles because it's not commercially produced like Fenny. You can keep it in glass bottle and refrigerate for a slightly longer shelf life.
I think the shorter shelf life is because it's very fruity. I prefer Urrak to Feny.
Hi brother,i going to visit Goa next week which feni brand is best and good and what would you prefer and refer
Send me some 🙏🏽
Lies again? Champions League USD SGD
I lived in Goa for 4 years. Hated feni at first, it's a very acquired taste, but now I love it especially served with Limca, half a green chilli and a little pudina (mint). Still visit 3-4 times a year and always bring back a local-made feni, usually sold in a repurposed Bisleri water bottle. You know it's the good stuff.
Those Asian Paints buckets are so durable, you can find those buckets in every Indian household, mine are almost 10 years old and still looks new 😂😂😂
😮
😂😆🤣
Yes🤭🤭
Mine also
Hahahah right! ✌🏼🤣
If this fruit was available in Italy feni would have been marketed in such a artistic perspective that it would cost 100 times the cost.
It would've been done with more cleanliness in Italy as well
Edit: A lot of people are getting caught up on "clean vs. unclean". Whether it's Italian or Indian liquor, it is clean after distillation. However, the cost of production (cleanliness, time, availability, can all be a factor) before-hand will add to the cost. When there is more care in a product before-hand, there is an additional cost. Think of free-range chicken or A5 Wagyu beef. The care before the product reaches it's final form adds to the cost. Lastly, a lot of Italian wines have been aged for many years which adds to the cost. This Indian wine is not aged nearly as long as artisan Italian wines.
I smoke weed every day 😭 But i get paid to smoke it on my UA-cam channel so it balances out😂😂‼️
@@user-kd4mi8xb7pif you understand the fundamentals of chemistry and micro biology you would realize the manner in which it is prepared is absolutely necessary for its taste and alcohol potency. Just research the process of fermentation as it relates to bacteria. In Italy machines would do all that, with additives and it would be stupidly overprice🤷♂️ just saying.
@@sagarsaini7559 I'm sure they don't step on their tomatoes with muddy boots
@@onespotermadia6280 Nope, lots of liquor are made without stepping on the fruits with dirty boots. It's not necessary, you're just making things up and telling me to "look it up".
I came across this video and I am from Goa. My family is still producing Cashew feni and urak in Goa but only for our family and relatives consumption. Moat of the Cashew apples comes from neighbouring states like karnataka and Maharashtra. We used to drink Cashew urak and feni the day you are born and the day you die. For the weddings in Goa it was a must and for every feasts and festivals in Goa.

I hope your people learn hygiene.
Are you mental 😑
@@senioritaexoticaI hope you learn the "how much is enough " part of the Hygiene chapter in your schools , Indians naturally have a higher tolerance for food quality anatomically, but I do think the case presented here in the video is good enough since it's distilled 2 times and also microorganisms cannot survive that high of alcohol level . We rarely get sick from food we eat here .
Made by bare feet in Europe the price goes up 100 times.
ikr
White people
U anioning
I love the flavor bare foot it makes more texture
Its distilled so its definitely clean. Actually you could use it to kill germs if its alcohol content to 70%... 😉👍👍👍
Anyone who's feeling icky about the stomping process should know that cashew fruit/nut has corrosive oils in them which are used for waterproofing boats etc., and thus using bare feet to stomp out the juice is not an option and machines get corroded easily which is not feasible for these small handcrafting families(maintenance cost will get higher than revenue). The alcohol is distilled anyways so it's clean.
Thanks
people are forgetting that today in europe expensive liquor producers still use bare feet to stomp grapes.
chinese maotai does the same, and the chinese ferment them in bare ground🤢🤮
My grandma has few cashew trees around her house and when she roasted the nuts she would apply coconut oil on her hands before handling the cashews otherwise the oil from cashew could cause your skin to peel off horribly
You do realize that we have materials other than metal, right? Rock, wood, clay etc. I understand that millennials hardly know how things can be automated other than using MACHINES, but humanity has invented a lot of cool stuff over the millennia that can reduce the workload massively.
@@gasun1274 so you're disgusted with the chinese or smth? Even tho it's the same with this one?
It's such an eye opener for me I didnt even know of this process,may you continue to strive in what you do.
My mom's a Goan and in her village this tradition is alive and it tastes too amazing, 😍
A moment of silence to those who didn't take their chemistry classes seriously and end up stating that it is unclean after two distillation processes.
You're wrong, Yes it might be bacteria free but not toxin free
Distillation work based on evaporation, the problem is bacteria secretion also in form of liquid, it also evaporate along with alcohol
@@kosakata8632 During the act of fermentation to produce alcohol the environment produced by the yeasts has low oxygen and kills of many bad bacteria and cultivates good kinds. Fermentation is one of the worlds oldest food preparation and preservation techniques. Of course things can still go wrong and I'm sure bad batches happen but there are easily identifiable from the hundreds if not thousands of batches they make with their hundreds of years of experience that has been passed down. Plus with any distillation there are there are toxins and unpleasant compounds that come over at the first stages but thats why the heads are thrown out and normally the hearts and tails are collected.
@@bonsallz dude I'm in second grade wtf are u talking About XD
@@Mantashapz123 then don't drink it
@@Mantashapz123 the spores are dead too
The final product was distilled twice so people don't have to worry about it being unhygienic. The same method is applied to the old way of making wines in the West.
Yeah, except they drink the juice as they go…
Still not drinking it
@@death5913 we.... Really don't care if you wanna drink it or not
@@ncxo1975 would you put that thing in your mouth?
@@death5913 Yes, it's distilled. Also it's alcohol content is fairly high, which prevents the growth of bacteria and other microbes.

This is actually very sustainable. Usually the cashew apples are discarded after removing the cashew nuts and that would go to the landfills.
Here its turned into alcohol, cattle feed and eventually manure for the plants.
The cashew fruit is made candy in my country. But we don't make alcohol with it.
landfills? clearly you are not a farmer or gardener. :'D
nobody is taking fruit waste from a farm to a landfill. that stuff is composted on site or just spread out back under the trees where it would naturally fall and rot. sending it to a landfill would cost money and deprive the field of more nutrients unnecessarily.
of course making spirit from it instead can be profitable. I hear cocoa fruit pulp is also sometimes used to make alcohol, though I'm not sure if it gets distilled. if such fruit waste can be made into enjoyable spirits rather than lower potency wines, that makes it more marketable due to its long shelf-life.
@@Anamer22 candy?? What's the name??

@Aparna Prassanth I am much thankful to your appreciation. She deserves love and respect.. May God bless her.
let's drink the unfermented cashew juice. cheers for that wonderful comment 👣🥂🍻
@@maddog6397 you are welcome for your appreciation.
I really appreciate the uploaded content on this channel.
I love that folks have found their niche product. Id love to try it one day but living thousands of kilometers away I'm probably out of luck. I think the only thing I would question is their practice of taking the first distillate and adding it back to the still. In every other distillation process I've seen the first (and last) distillates are usually where you get most of the unwanted gunk, water and any unwanted alcohols that you don't want in your drink. That said, most of the processes I'm familiar with involve corn or grains, so using fruit its possible this isnt an issue (similar to making wine making)
No bro you are not out of luck ... It's just this thing is keeping up to India only coz of their family tradition ,,, if some person would open a start up for feni we'd be grateful to see many people drinking and enjoying it ..🇮🇳
Often people demand stuff to be 'authentic'...but when they see stuff authentic to this level, they will literally judge you for something thats literally how they make things...youve asked for authenticity...like what more would you like?....
This process is a lot less scary once you realize that the only ingredients that make it into the final product must be heated to over 170 F. If they sold the undistilled fruit "beer" it would probably be dangerous to drink.
Yes!!!!! Much better than the knowledge of what ppl can/will do to our fast food UGH
money is funny
ammm authentic but clean would be nice..
@Home Banger ehhhhh sure? :)
I'd imagine they could cut the man power in half by letting tourists stomp on them for 5-10 minutes for 5$.
But theres not much tourists
There's little to no tourists and usually tourists dont do it well, so it is imperfect.
@@syankha8329 extra cash though
That’s just slavery with extra steps
@@CMak-gj4hm
If people are doing it for fun, why not? I wouldn't mind being part of a centuries old tradition of making liquor from a culture that is outside of mine for an immersive experience, even if it's just minutes.
Oh wow I never knew how cashews look like, that’s amazing. Hope to also try this liquor one day!
As a Goan watching this makes me so proud and happy 🤍
They should just name it a brand and sell it at HARD ALCOHOL prices like RUM, WHISKY. should also add a premium rate for HANDMADE, LIMITED and SEASONAL ALCOHOL.
Good idea
Goa is already a popular tourist destination, so branding this Alcohol and giving it a distinctively Goan Identity would make it easily identifiable and marketable (both in India and abroad)
It's seasonal and it's supply is unpredictable
@Jock Ma it can be exported.
Well sure yes they can but most of ther family members go to bigger cities and just forget their cashew wine experience and do their new life so ummmm yeah they still need more support from people mostly travellers that way they can open shops and now make a brand for it
why are people talking about people saying its unhygienic when i don’t see anybody saying it’s unhygienic.

Everyone is saying it's dirty, but I guess no one knows what distillation does.
We understand exactly what it does its still disgusting thinking about the 100 degree heat and the sweating on top of of that pulp and sweating getting into the juice.....not to mention their dirty crusty feet stepping in the vessel itself in one scene

If this "Feni" was made in Europe or US ... the product would be marketed & sold at such an insane premium that the makers would earn in the millions, each year
haha no, the makers wouldn't make millions, the capitalist owners of the factory would :)
Um, it's not just where it is made, it is if it has a good reputation and high interest among people. Though I think there are better products than alcohol to sell for the benefit of everone regardless of where it is made.
@@kanaler5924 Well it actually is dependant alot of where stuff is produced, or more accurately the people controlling the region where is is produced, or also the trade agreements the area has with the rest of the world. Because of the area it is produced it is counted as "country liquor" as described in the video, and just because of that definition that mainly comes from it being produced in the country side of India people already have a bias towards its.
Compare it to tequila or any other type of spirit that is widely popular, which became popular when the Spanish started consuming it in south America and trading it back to Spain.
@@CakeSeeker Re read what I wrote and think about what you said.
It is about reputation and high interest as you admit. The people who made this has not yet made the product widely popular. The famous brands you know of started from the bottom. Do you think they where all widely known and saught after just like that because of their region before the reputation spread or someone marketed it?
soo true : /
This sounds amazing, my friend told me about how delicious the fruit that grows with cashews is and I will be buying a bottle asap. thanks
Get it from local bars. It's cheap and quality stuff. The ones they sell at liquor shops and supermarkets here are adulterated.
My parents are in Goa rn and i told them to bring me some, they are gonna bring it soon, i am so excited to try it.
How did it taste?
This is basically cashew moonshine. I see some people talking about cleanliness.
In the end it doesn't matter. Everything is sterilized by distillation.
yes right thise whi dont have knowledge of process Shit out bad
My aunty's mother who died couple of years used to make cashew fenny. Not just Goa, Mangalore too has a lot of cashew trees but very few people know to make Cashew Fenny. We had a few cashew trees in our house. Cashew fruit tastes great but is also very acidic. Can literally burn your hands. Toddy that they mentioned however is made by a lot of folks.
The former is made in a much more sanitary enviroment, and not with ancient, outdated methods.

You mean, in the south of USA
I drank arak and feni way long back may be 20 years ago in goa but still the taste lingers in my tongue.....wish i could get some more....
The best is how clean it’s everything 🤩🤩🤩
I see a lot of people don't know what distilling means, and therefore think that the end product is unclean.
Distilling is where a substance is boiled in a pot, the condensation (steam that would normally go into the air, but is instead caught at the top of the pot) will trickle down through a pipe which leads to a container, this process seperates the gnarly stuff (dirt, bugs and bacteria to name a few) from the liquid. They do this process a few times to make sure the end product is as clean as possible.
It is so funny that people think it dirty! They don't want to see how wine, whiskey or any other fermented alcohol! Have a blessed day!
Just like American moonshine.
I was really unsure for the first half of the video lol
Ah thank you for the info
@Jay M In no way do i consider myself in expert, i just see that people don't know what distilling is, so i tell them. And of course, given the option i will drink the one with the more clean process of making.
People are very inventive when comes to get drunk.
dont need to get drunk to taste and enjoy good stuff.

Great movie! I spent a lot of time in Goa as a young adult, and this brought back memories (I hated the feni though!). I learned something new too, I didn’t know that the cashew came from Brazil
Brazil and Goa were once upon a time a colonies of Portuguese that’s how .. And most of the people from Brazil and Goa share similar last names…
I remember my boss from India brought this to a party once. He brought it in a water bottle which seemed strange but he explained that he basically had to smuggle it out. We tried it (he also brought strawberries, you take a shot and eat a strawberry. Tasted incredible and we all got super hammered. Almost no hangover whatsoever.

That would require these beverages to be exported, which wouldn't work well.

Why are people calling them 'unsanitary' when the fruit is supposed to ferment naturally, AND they're distilling the mash? Might as well complain about how their tap water was piss at some point.
Exactly and the amount of crap in drinking water is ridiculous
I grew up in Mexico and I seen and done things that would make people in 1st world countries go (gross) but they just don't know what it takes without having machines or anything else and working with what you have.
The funniest thing is that there is a brewery here that leaves their brew over wild berries and allow wild bacteria and yeast to ferment it and they charge 12 for 6 pack, and top shelf rum use dunder pits and charger 50-60 for 750ml bottle
but it is unsanitary... like their hands could be dirty, boots could be dirty, their sweat can get in the alcohol, like whats not unsanitary
@@bruh.5620 do you even know what a dunder pit is, it’s literally a pit of rotting fruit and dead animals and that’s what gives it flavor and it’s completely safe because of distillation, hell even mezcal and whiskey use natural bacteria to ferment, that how they been doing it for centuries and it produces quality alcohol

👆and right there folks is why breast fed millennials shouldn’t have the internet.
nothing will change and nor should it. Why? because thats how the world works and nothing can force it to be different. This is way of life and it scales even worse than this, ie, most of Africa. If you try and force it to be different it will simply displace the way of life. World is balance and thats just life so cope. Live your own life and don't waste your time worrying about things that are impossible to change.
@@Alex-dn7vd that's called being practical.
And knowing that some things are better off that way.
Yeah but there is a huge difference in purchasing power. Their 300 rupees feeds their entire family, your 3 punds will buy you a cup of coffee. You are lucky but not by as much as you think.
@@Crsf84 why breast fed though lol 😂
Never heard of Feni, but then again, I had never heard of Waragi until I went to Uganda
Fabulous video thanks 🙏
"Decades of experience and close observation." You can't buy that with money, only with time, effort, sweat and perseverance.
I wish they could get rid of the sweat. It's a little disgusting. Other than that, looks fine.
Decades of experience but they don't pour out the methanol lmao.
@@sanjogh777 it's distilled
Only the alcohol and water is present in the final product
Nothing else
6th grade chemistry bruh ...
So neat. Making this liquor is so much apart of there lives. If you do something everyday, every detail will expose itself.
When you crush some grapes barefoot on the ground in the West, it becomes a premium wine. If you do something similar in India, it becomes dirty and unhygienic even though they boil it at high temperatures and distilled it. Hypocrites everywhere.
The people who think this is dirty are kissing their dogs in the mouth and letting them eat at the table after said dog orb dogs freshly got done eating each other’s feces.
@@julisa3100 That's so real
Correct
exactly, if you think feni is unhygenic dont understand how distillation works
@@julisa3100 Bruh Muslims don't come in this category we don't pet dogs
Pls governments do something about this tradition, the ancestors must be the one to share knowledge to us like these things and they're really deserved to have a better life. So sad .. 😔

My grandma makes cashew fruit wine in Trinidad. Damn that’s some good stuff.
ahh boy big up my island innt
@@matthaishassanali6827 it’s hard to describe the taste but apparently the fruit is in the apple family. Just don’t get it on your clothes cause they tell me it stains like red wine.
I've heard about this before but never tried it. 🇹🇹 always has something new to experience
@@DDELE7 it's hard to describe because you're lying
I may be wrong but earlier,many workers from india went to Trinidad and settled there
So I think or guess that it has a bit of a connection
I may be wrong so correct me if I'm
Some people don’t know what’s distillation, don’t skip your chemistry class
I prefer this to some stupid chemical process that's reassuring you to get cancer
@@TLPcreative r you dumb chemistry isn't stupid
@@TLPcreative the chemical process is better and everything that's had chemical isn't bad
@@eeee8489 i prefer this distillation process
I learnt that in grade 7 lmao
I have a cashew allergy so can’t ever try this delightful looking beverage but much respect for the family keeping this tradition alive! Perhaps a juice press and more hygienic methods could help speed up the process.
maybe you can, because alcohol denatures the proteins you're allergic to.
India comes up with a lot of interesting things and the country and people itself are interesting and clever too. 👌
When I was a kid my classmate will sell cashew nuts for 10 pesos. He will just pick cashews and roast it for few mins put in a cellophane then sell it. When you buy them in supermarkets they cost hundreds. Expensive much.
When i was a kid it was 3$ kilo now it's 6$ kilo.
@@mausenpai215 how do you buy in dollars per kilo?
Yea it was very easy to get but yet expensive 😂

Great 👍 👌
Know where to find feni in Brooklyn nyc?
Me too, it’s great so see our Goan culture getting recognised on such a huge scale. Isn’t it?
@@shaanvazarkar012 It indeed is!
Idea that have used for distillation is amazing..
The amount of cashews she’s probably collected over the years is insane
The one that are complaining about the boots have literally never went to any winery. They stomp on the wine with bare feet and sweat also gets into it too
Exactly! Also it's distilled TWICE nothing made into the final product other than the liquor
no.. he had filthy muddy boots.. big difference
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 Ye also the alcohol is distilled so no impurities make it into the end product
Shut up, are u living in d middle ages? It's all automated now.
@@megsarna7429 some of it not all
The comments didn't disappoint about people freaking out about the boots used to mash it up. Tons of foods start off in a less than appetizing manner but it's the end product that matters because it's purified and/or refined to make sure it's clean. Besides, ethanol is a pretty darn good antiseptic. Cheers! 🍻
exactly
Exactly, probably the beer in the market is made out of the water in the river and then purified later.
@Po Nomo the distillation step
@Po Nomo The copper thing, is a Stil a named dirived from the function it serves, Distilation...it does this through boiling the liquid until it vaporizes then passes it through a cooling tube where it cooled, the resulting liquid is very much "purified" by means of the production process..Try watching one of NileRed's videos if you are still confused.
I guess only people dumb enough will comment on boots being used. Machines for distilling have come recently, otherwise such kind of processess were being used from hundreds of years.
Thanks for mentioning Georgia 🇬🇪 people often forget the homeland of Wine

My god this comment section is going to come an all out war
@@heartbreakmanNo1 but this is about cashews not meat
I tried it once and it was a damn good liquor..
Best alcohol I ever drank was corn liquor from an old boy in the hills. Glad to see people keeping tradition alive.
Feni tastes amazing too, honestly stole a few bottles and smuggled then out of Goa one time
It's sad that small businesses like this die out, I wish I could go to India to try some...
hheyyy ur wrong this aint small buisness... ppl here are crazy to drink lolll.. this is only made in Goa, India.. btw this process is a tradition nd tates craazyyy3
I hope it's dying don't wanna drink shoe's juice
@@woobaby715 How is this not a small business? It's one lone family making 700$ a year.
@@woobaby715 yeah I know lol I once drinked it's good
@@JesusGodHolySpirit3 i have one word for ya. Distilation. Also it's the traditional way wine is made. In many places in the world its still made like this and it is insanely expensive. Also if the alcohol is potent enough it can litteraly kill bacteria. how is that dirty i have no idea.
I am from Goa and this makes me utterly happy. It is quite a strong liquor for those who want to know and also an acquired taste. This along with the local port wine, has an everlasting impression.
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honestly. If they would just make a website they could be rolling in the dough. I don’t even drink and I would buy a bottle simply because of the novelty.
Sadly it wouldn't be that easy to ship alcohol from Goa to other parts of the country... Every state have a different tax structures on Alcohol..
They most probably don't have internet there. So making a website is not possible.
@@PeaceBubble everyone has internet dumbo
@@user-jd8jx5fe6r Just because you were born in a family lucky enough to have internet doesn't mean everyone has access to it. That's a lot of ignorance from your part. Some poor villages are fortunate to even have a doctor living among them seeing the government doesn't built hospitals there. You can't possibly think they would even know about internet!
