Liqueur Oggi (Odzhi) is a domestic brand that lovers of sweet alcohol managed to appreciate. The product was conceived as a substitute for imported cream liqueurs and is manufactured in accordance with international quality standards. Buyers note the not too sugary and well-balanced taste of Oji liqueurs, as well as a pleasant natural aroma. One of the advantages of the brand is its low price.
Historical information
The Oggi trademark belongs to the Russian company Alliance Vintegra, founded in March 2005. The organization develops, produces and sells alcoholic beverages and is one of the three largest market operators in the capital region. Among the partners of the company are large retail chains Auchan, Scarlet Sails and Avoska, and partners distribute Alliance Vintegra products in the regions.
The company does not have its own production sites, so Oggi liqueurs are produced by the Niva Pilot Plant, which is located in St. Petersburg. The company is not well known even in its own region, however, it has firmly occupied a part of the alcoholic beverage market for several decades. The plant was founded in 1991 and for a long time was part of the business empire of the ex-entrepreneur Alexander Sabadash. In 2002, the management at Niva completely changed, which decided to head for the production of niche alcohol.
By 2009, the enterprise occupied 70% of the domestic milk liqueur market. Technologists have been actively working on recipes based on the latest trends in the global spirits market. The company’s management has set a goal to offer consumers inexpensive drinks that are not inferior to imported ones in quality. During this period, technological lines were modernized and the production of new brands was launched. Dessert liqueurs and fruit vodkas appeared in the assortment of the company.
One of the important areas of the company’s work is the production of private labels, which include Oggi liqueur. The plant is equipped with a special nursery where spices are grown for the production of dessert alcohol, all natural ingredients are carefully and rigorously selected. Niva specialists have more than fifty unique recipes developed to order. The quality of products is controlled by our own laboratory.
Assortment of Oggi liqueurs
Oggi liqueur is produced on the basis of Lux distillation alcohol. The drink belongs to the category of emulsion liqueurs, which are traditionally made on the basis of milk, cream or eggs. Oggi contains skimmed milk powder and gum arabic as a thickener. The component is completely natural and is a transparent acacia resin. Different tastes of liquor are given by natural flavors, the strength of drinks is 15% vol.
Types of liqueurs “Oji”:
- “Pina Colada” – milky white with a classic taste of coconut and pineapple;
- “Strawberry with cream” – a pink smoky shade with delicate creamy strawberry tones;
- “Pistachios with cream” – a white liqueur with sweet nutty tones;
- “Coffee with cream” is a creamy drink with a characteristic bouquet reminiscent of the Irish Baileys.
Buyers note the bright and pure tastes of dessert drinks and the absence of pronounced alcohol content in the bouquet. The consistency of Oggi is no different from imported analogues – emulsion liqueurs are not too thick and are suitable for making cocktails.
