AMARO
What is Amaro?
Amaro, meaning "bitter" in Italian, is a type of Italian herbal liqueur that offers a complex and delightful experience. It's typically enjoyed as a digestif, which means it's often sipped after a meal to aid digestion and provide a satisfying end to your dining experience.
How is Amaro Made?
Amaro is made by infusing a variety of herbs, roots, flowers, bark, and citrus peels in alcohol, which is then sweetened and aged. The specific ingredients and recipes can vary widely, resulting in a range of flavors from sweet and citrusy to herbal and bitter.
Flavors and Varieties
Each Amaro has its unique profile. Here are some key characteristics:
Bittersweet: A balance of bitter and sweet flavors, often with hints of citrus and spices.
Herbal: Rich herbal notes, sometimes with a hint of mint, chamomile, or even artichoke.
