From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
One should not confuse amaretto with amaro, a different family of Italian liqueurs
that, while also sweetened, have a stronger bitter flavour derived from herbs.
Legend [ edit ]
Despite the known history on the introduction and acceptance of almonds into
Italian cuisine, newer takes on the meanings and origins have been popularized
by two major brands. Though of sometimes questionable factuality, these tales
hold a sentimental place in Saronno culture:
DeKuyper – Netherlands
Disaronno – Italy
Lazzaroni – Italy
Bols – Netherlands
Luxardo – Italy
