Strega
The Italian word for witchcraft, Strega is also a fine liqueur of long-standing reputation.
Dinstinctively yellow in color with a smooth and soft taste.
Distilled by the family Alberti in Benevento since 1840, it is produced in small pot stills and fermented in oak vats using a closely guarded concoction of herbs and spcies that includes saffron, which gives the liqueur its distinctive solar complexion.
Excellent after a meal, it can be sipped dry, or with ice. As a flavoring, it is often added to ice cream, fruit salads and as ingredient in cake preparations.
