Italy is not only and simply known for her fine wines, but also for a plethora of liqueurs and spirits we enjoy at times as an aperitivo, at times as an after-dinner digestive. Often, they become also important ingredients for some of our favorite desserts.

Amaro Fernet Branca

Made from the infusion of numerous ingredients, obtained from 4 continents. After the infusion takes place, Fernet rests in wood barrels for at least a year. The name of this liqueur, according to many, originated from the Milanese dialect “fer net”, literarily, a clean iron, from the hot metal rod once used to mix the ingredients together. And it is, in fact,  in Milan that Fernet acquired its fame, thanks to producer Bernardino Branca who, more than 150 years ago, started up producing the famous amaro.
