Averna Amaro Siciliano

Averna Amaro Siciliano is an iconic product of the Averna brand, one of the most renowned producers of herbal liqueurs in Italy. The Averna brand originated in 1868 when Italian merchant Salvatore Averna obtained a secret recipe for the production of the liqueur from the Benedictine monks of the Abbazia di Santo Spirito Abbey in Caltanissetta, Sicily. The liqueur was originally intended only for medicinal and spiritual purposes, but Salvatore made it available to the general public.

The Averna brand has since become a symbol of Italian tradition, hospitality and quality. The production of the liqueur preserves the original process and involves the maceration of carefully selected herbs, spices, citrus fruits and other botanicals which are steeped in alcohol. Averna prides itself on using local Mediterranean ingredients that give the liqueur its authentic Sicilian character.

Today, Averna is part of the portfolio of the Campari Group, one of the largest alcoholic beverage companies in the world. Nevertheless, the brand retains its roots and traditional practices that are an integral part of its identity. Averna is popular not only in Italy but also worldwide, where it is appreciated by digestif and cocktail lovers for its balanced taste and rich history.
