Algarrobina
On arid lands, where the lacerating northern sun draws white contrasts and blacks, the Tallán culture found refuge and shelter in the carob tree. A giant with sparse foliage through which golden pods peek out, protecting the fruit that is synonymous with life. Considered a wise and generous divinity since pre-Columbian times, the carob tree provides the inhabitants of Catacaos with a sweet but bitter nectar known as “algarrobina”. It is through this vegetable tonic that the Tallán traditions remain in force to this day.
Inspired by the art of the Tallán culture, the structure of the bottle resembles its ceramics with a wrapped neck and gray and black colors with careful finishes resulting from their burnishing technique. The image of the carob tree, which represents the main deity of Catacaos, is found as the central point of the circular composition. The packaging is decorated with Tallán’s patterns and bronze finishes that resemble the color of nectar to elevate the product to a more premium category.
