Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur

In a Nutshell

This Italian liqueur is flavoured with toasted hazelnuts.

Tasting Notes

Intense hazelnut aromas with a richly textured palate. A pronounced, yet delicate hazelnut flavour with hints of vanilla and dark chocolate. The finish is smooth and long.

Production Notes

Local Piedmont hazelnuts are harvested, shelled, toasted and crushed, they are then infused in a solution of alcohol and water. The hazelnut infusion is distilled to produce a natural hazelnut distillate which is then blended with extract and distillates from cocoa seeds, vanilla berries, roasted coffee and other flavoring preparations to create the Frangelico concentrate. This concentrate is blended with pure alcohol, sugar and water to achieve the required bottling strength. It is then laid down in vats for 6-8 weeks to allow the blend to marry together and mellow.
