Frangelico

Frangelico is renowned for its exquisite sweet flavor, crafted from wild toasted hazelnuts soaked in alcohol, blended with berries and a selection of spices. Its name is inspired by a hermit monk from Piedmont who invented it around the year 1600, along with a variety of other spirits.

The legacy of this liquor stretches back over three centuries, originating from the time of the first Christian monks who lived in the hills of northern Italy. It has an alcohol content of 28°. According to Barbero, the producer of Frangelico in Italy, the liquor's name recalls the legend of a hermit known as Friar Angelico, celebrated for his "exceptional and distinctive liquor recipes". The bottle itself echoes the habits of the Franciscan monks, and the liquor, named after the famed painter Friar Angelico (died in 1455), a Dominican monk, serves as a homage to his legacy.
