Q

Curaçao

Primary Flavor
Country of Origin

A

Laraha Citrus Netherlands (Antilles)

Seville orange trees transplanted on Curaçao from Spain in 1527 did not thrive in the arid climate and soil of this Southern Caribbean island. Abandoned, the fruit evolved from a bright orange color and sweet taste into the green and inedible bitter laraha. The dried peels of the laraha, however, were discovered to be pleasantly aromatic and experimentation with the extracts of these peels led to the creation of Curaçao liqueur.

Styles of Amaro

Edit this card

A

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaro_(liqueur)
Medium - typically 32% alcohol by volume, with an even balance between bitter, sweet, and citrus tastes. Examples of this type are Montenegro, Ramazzotti, Averna, Lucano, Luxardo Amaro Abano, Amaro Bio.
Fernet - more sharply bitter than other amari. Examples include Fernet Branca, Fernet Stock, Luxardo Fernet, Amaro Santa Maria Al Monte.
Light - Lighter in color than others, usually with more citrus notes. Examples include Amaro Nonino, Amaro Florio, Amaro del Capo.
Alpine - flavoured with ‘alpine’ herbs, sometimes with a smokey taste, typically around 17% alcohol content. Examples include Amaro Alpino, Amaro Zara, Amaro Braulio.
Vermouth - Unlike other amaros, which are typically made from grain-based alcohol, vermouth amaro is wine-based. It is sweeter with more citrus, and very closely resembles the aperitif vermouth. Examples are Amaro Don Bairo, Amaro Diesus del Frate.
Carciofo - made with artichoke, usually around 17% alcohol content. These amari are usually taken as an aperitif, rather than a digestif. Examples include Cynar and Carciofo (multiple producers).
Tartufo - made with black truffles, bottled at 30% alcohol. Amari of this type are produced in the central Italian region of Umbria, which is known for its truffles, as well as in San Marino.
China - made with bark of Cinchona calisaya. The oldest and most popular brand is China Martini, based in Turin.
Rabarbaro - made with rhubarb. The oldest and most popular brand is Zucca, based in Milan.
Miscellaneous - made with honey, fennel, or unripe green walnuts (nocino).
