Amaretto Explained: Three Ways to Enjoy this Italian Liqueur with ADRIATICO Amaretto – New to the UK this summer
What is Amaretto?
Amaretto is an almond liqueur that originates from Italy.
How is it made?
Surprisingly, many amarettos do not contain any almonds. ADRIATICO Amaretto is one of the only amarettos made from real Italian almonds and from 100% natural Italian ingredients in Puglia. Hand-picked in the Italian countryside, the almonds used to make ADRIATICO are a unique Apulian almond called “Filippo Cea” that are then roasted before being macerated and distilled.
ADRIATICO Roasted Amaretto is blended with cinnamon, cocoa and coffee before a pinch of sea salt from the salt flats next to the Adriatic Sea is added, from which ADRIATICO takes its name.
An alternative to traditional Amaretto is ADRIATICO Bianco (White), made from crushed almonds. This unique white liqueur is made from chopped and soaked white almonds, creating a silky liqueur with vanilla notes and despite its milky white colour contains no milk.
