Amaretto Casoni: Icon of Italian spirits

The Amaretto is without a doubt the most famous Italian liqueur in the world, a success to be attributed to its unmistakable taste and its great versatility.

A liqueur with an unmistakable flavour that goes very well with desserts and ice cream.

Amaretto Casoni has won many awards in many international competitions over the years. It has a strong aroma of almonds, the main ingredient of the liqueur, and an intense taste from the rich bouquet of flavours including delicate notes of cocoa and vanilla.

PRODUCTION METHOD: cold extraction with hydro-alcoholic solution

INGREDIENTS: water, sugar, alcohol, glucose syrup, flavourings

AROMATIC NOTES: typical almond with complementary notes typical of the product

TIP: Paired with ice cream or sorbet, it gives the dessert a unique, inimitable taste

As with other famous almond-based liqueur recipes, it was back in 1500, in the city of Saronno, that the amaretto first came into being through the hand, or rather, one should say, the 'mind', of the painter Bernardino Luini. The artist was actually in the city to paint a fresco portraying 'The Madonna and the Adoration of the Wise Men' when he fell in love with a charming innkeeper who, as a way of thanking him for using her as a model for his work, offered the artist an elixir of herbs, toasted sugar, bitter almonds and brandy. Though merely a recipe invented on the spur of the moment by the innkeeper, it enjoyed sudden and immediate success.
