About Disaronno
Disaronno is an extremely popular Italian almond-flavored liqueur that was formerly called Disaronno Amaretto. It is blended and bottled in Saronno, Italy, and has been the pride of the Italian liqueur world for over a century. It is produced in other areas of the world today, including in the Netherlands and the U.S.
Amaretto literally means “little bitter” in Italian. The name is comes from mandorla amara, or bitter almond, which is its primary flavor. The liqueur is produced by several brands, including Disaronno and Lazzaroni. Disaronno’s liqueur is sold in an oblong glass decanter designed by a craftsman from Murano, Italy.
Disaronno’s recipe, passed down from one generation to the next, dates back to 1525 and continues to be produced by the Reina Family. Surprisingly, no almonds are used to make it. Instead, the marzipan-like flavor is achieved with apricot kernel oil, burnt sugar, and a variety of 17 herbs, fruits, and spices.
