Saliza Amaretto

Bepi Tosolini Saliza is a traditionally made Italian amaretto made with crushed almonds rather than concentrates or extracts. (Formerly named Mascarada Amaretto Veneziano.) “Our amaretto is made as the traditional and artisanal recipe, by infusing almonds in alcohol for a couple of weeks and then distilling with a special still used for botanical extraction. Once the distillation process is finished we make the final blend and add alcohol, sugar and caramel (for the dark color). Nothing else. No aromas, no artificial flavors. All is natural. In fact there is a secret ingredient not mentioned (all families recipes as secrets) it should be kept secret but just for your information we put a few drops of aged brandy which gives the amaretto a richer aroma and taste.” This Amaretto takes its name from the Salizada or Salizà Pignatter, where there is an arc which is set with a red heart-shaped stone: the legend has it that couples who come together they will love forever...
