Amaretto

Amaretto is an Italian liqueur with a distinctive almond flavour and aroma, although it is traditionally made from apricot kernels or bitter almonds. It originates from Saronno in Italy, where it has been produced since the 16th century. In the kitchen, it is added to desserts, creams, tiramisu, ice cream and baked goods, lending a delicate almond sweetness. It also pairs well with coffee drinks or cocktails. The alcohol content is typically around 21-28%. Due to its intense flavour, only a small amount is needed. Alcohol-free amaretto flavouring is also available for those who avoid alcohol.
