Amaro Averna is characterised by its bittersweet flavour, which results from a careful blend of herbs, roots and citrus fruits. This liqueur offers a balanced combination of sweet, bitter and spicy notes, making it a versatile choice whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks or in cocktails.

• Citrus notes: Amaro Averna offers refreshing notes of Sicilian citrus fruits, which lend it its lively freshness.

The story of Amaro Averna begins in 1868 in Caltanissetta, Sicily, when Salvatore Averna received the recipe for this exceptional herbal liqueur from a monk. The monk handed over the recipe as a token of gratitude for the Averna family’s charitable deeds. Since then, Amaro Averna has been produced using the same secret recipe, which consists of a careful blend of herbs, roots and citrus fruits.

Amaro Averna is renowned not only in Italy but worldwide and is enjoyed as a digestif in many countries. The brand has succeeded in preserving tradition whilst building an international following. Today, Amaro Averna is an integral part of Italian culture and is often served after a meal as a digestif or in cocktails.

Amaro Averna is produced according to a closely guarded recipe that has been passed down through the Averna family for generations. The careful selection and blending of herbs, roots and citrus fruits takes place in a multi-stage process, during which the ingredients are macerated in alcohol to release their flavours.

After maceration, the liqueur is aged in oak barrels, where it develops its characteristic depth and complexity. This ageing process gives Amaro Averna its smooth, rounded flavour and makes it a distinctive digestif.

Amaro Averna is the perfect choice for anyone looking for an authentic Italian herbal liqueur that embodies tradition and quality. Whether enjoyed neat as a digestif, on the rocks or in cocktails, Amaro Averna offers an unrivalled taste experience that reflects the Italian way of life.
