| Description |
The flagship product of the Caffo Distillery is Vecchio Amaro del Capo, a Calabrian herbal liqueur, the result of an ancient Calabrian recipe that has been reworked and improved by the experience acquired by four generations of the Caffo family. Vecchio Amaro del Capo contains the active ingredients of many beneficial herbs, flowers, fruits and roots from the generous land of Calabria, infused in very fine alcohol, to aid digestion and give a pleasant sensation of well-being. Among the 29 medicinal herbs that make up the infusion, we remember, for their tonic-digestive properties, some that are very common in Calabria such as bitter orange, sweet orange, licorice, mandarin, chamomile and juniper. Its gentle and aromatic taste is well suited even to the most delicate palates, not accustomed to "Amarissimi". Vecchio Amaro del Capo is today among the most popular and sold bitters in Italy and boasts the record of being the first bitter to be proposed iced according to the slogans launched by the company starting from the 70s when consumption was mainly summer and it was distributed only in Calabria. In 2010 Vecchio Amaro del Capo was the only Italian bitter awarded with the gold medal at the world competition in Brussels. |
