Savina’s Imbuljuta celebrates one of Malta’s most cherished winter traditions. Rooted in the old Feast of St Martin of Tours, Imbuljuta was traditionally prepared as the island’s first true taste of the colder season.

Savina explained that as chestnuts came into season, families would gather to simmer this comforting blend of cocoa, spices and chestnuts, marking the transition to winter and the beginning of festive warmth.

It said that “over time, imbuljuta became deeply woven into Maltese Christmas customs, especially as the much-loved drink served after Midnight Mass. Its rich aroma, velvety texture and gentle spices were a symbol of togetherness, a treat enjoyed in the early hours of Christmas morning as families gathered back home together, coming in from the cold December air.”

Savina’s Imbuljuta carries this treasured heritage forward. Crafted with the authentic traditional flavour, it is lovingly prepared in a smooth, ready-to-pour liquid, bringing the nostalgia of village kitchens into a modern, convenient form.

The company said it is “beautifully packed and perfect for gifting, it transforms a beloved Maltese ritual into a contemporary experience, allowing anyone to share the warmth, history and sweetness of this timeless festive drink.”
