Amaretto liqueur comes from Italy, more precisely from the vicinity of Venice. The name amaretto comes from the Italian word “amaro” which means bitter and refers to the bitter taste of almonds, which are one of the main ingredients of the liqueur. The name is misleading because amaretto liqueur has a rather sweet taste, and although the aftertaste of almonds is clearly noticeable in it, it is neutralized by other ingredients and determines the distinctive taste finish. The history of amaretto dates back to the 16th century, when, according to legend, the painter Bernardino Luini, painting a fresco in the church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Saronno, received a bottle of liqueur made of almonds and wine from a widow with whom he had a fiery affair. Another version of the story says that they were the first producers of the local liquor made of wine, apricots and almonds – the di Soranno family used the legend of the painter and the beautiful widow as a kind of marketing ploy. Very effective as it turned out, because over time the liqueur gained popularity throughout Italy and abroad, and its recipe was passed down from generation to generation by the Reina family, which founded the Lazzaroni company and started producing amaretto in 1851.
Amaretto liqueur is typically red amber or amber in color depending on the ingredients used and their proportions. In addition to almonds, apricot seeds, peaches, and rarely cherries are also added to it. Herbs or vanilla flavoring are also used in some variations and recipes. The taste of amaretto depends primarily on the proportions according to which almonds and apricot or cherry stones are combined with wine distillate and sugar syrup. Today, amaretto is the most popular and recognizable Italian liqueur in the world, and its worldwide popularity has meant that it is produced in many countries in various varieties.
The alcohol content of amaretto is usually from a dozen to thirty percent by volume. It has a rich and complex aroma that combines notes of almond, marzipan, vanilla, apricot and citrus, and sometimes herbs. Amaretto liqueur also has health benefits as it contains antioxidants and B vitamins that support the nervous and immune systems.
Amaretto is most often added to drinks. You can also serve this liqueur as an addition to coffee, chocolate, desserts – it will also work well for soaking cakes. However, connoisseurs prefer tasting this aromatic liqueur in its pure form.
