In business since 1896, Senior has a unique distinction of being the only company to use the appellation of genuine,original or authentic in describing its Curacaos as this may only be used if the Laraha golden oranges of the island of Curacao is used in production. Indeed I understand they own the only groves of these oranges in the world. These oranges were brought to the island in the early 1500’s. Senior takes an artist approach where every step is carefully considered- from using a wooden knife to peel the orange rather than a steel one (which would stain the peels and introduce off flavors) to the careful drying and then maceration of the peels before distillation to the hand bottling and labeling.
