Understanding Amari | Campari Academy

Amaro liqueurs belong to the herbal liqueur family, crafted from a blend of bitter botanicals. These typically encompass an array of raw plant elements like leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, stems, wood, bark, and roots. Their origins date back to ancient times when these liqueurs were initially concocted as medicinal elixirs to stimulate the appetite.

Evolving from their curative roots, they were refined by infusing sweet botanicals like vanilla, aniseeds, liquorice, star anise, and crucially, sugar. A pivotal phase in crafting amaro involves the steeping and infusion of these diverse botanicals, often processed by crushing, grinding, pulverising, or pressing, depending on the herb's texture and the desired extracted properties.
