Trappist Abbey Monastery Brandy Soaked Fruitcake 1 lb - Oregon
The Brethren (Monks) of Our Lady of Guadalupe Trappist Abbey in Lafayette, Oregon make an outstanding brandy-soaked fruitcake dark, dense, and loaded with fruit and nuts. The monks replace the typical maraschino cherries and green citron with raisins, candied pineapple, and candied cherries.
Baked for almost three hours, the Trappist Monk fruitcakes are then soaked in fine brandy. Most of the alcohol evaporates and the rich brandy flavor is absorbed. The monastery fruitcakes are then aged for three months to develop the flavor, a unique balance of the sweet fruits and moist walnuts and pecans with a pleasant finish of spices and brandy.
Trappist Abbey fruitcake will make believers out of even the most ardent fruitcake skeptics.

I don't normally like fruit cakes (too sweet), but this cake was just perfect - we finished it in 2 days! Wonderful taste, not too sweet, all the nut, fruit and spice flavors come through beautifully! Highly recommended.
My husband and I are not fans of most fruitcake. We were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed this one. The candied fruit is perfect without overwhelming the cake or being too sweet. The nuts are fantastic, and the cake itself is not too light, not too heavy, with a lovely dark richness. The brandy is complementary to the cake without overpowering it. We already plan to buy another next year!
I bought this for a neighbor. He gave me a slice and oh my! It was delicious!
This is the best fruit cake I have ever had. It is moist and very flavorful. I will buy again.
This was the first time buying the Trappist Abbey fruit cake. Once it arrived my husband and I shared a slice. We usually like to wait until Christmas. Needless to say that it didn't make it to Christmas. I'm done shopping around for the perfect fruit cake. It was DELICIOUS!
This cake is so moist and full of delicious fruit! Totally worth the cost
I bought this for my Mom who grew up on Hostess Fruit Cake. I didn't know how it would compare to Hostess. She loves this fruitcake. She cut it up into tiny pieces so it would last longer!
Have ordered this fruitcake before. Still pleased with it as the first time. Recommend it if you are tired of the run of the mill fruitcakes..
