The process of making Averna is deeply rooted in Italian tradition. Herbs, roots, and citrus rinds are soaked in a high-quality base liquor to extract their flavors, followed by the addition of caramel for a touch of sweetness. This gives Averna its signature dark, velvety texture and a balanced taste that combines sweet, herbal, and slightly bitter notes. With 29% alcohol by volume, Averna remains a beloved choice for after-dinner enjoyment.
The heritage of Averna is linked to monastic traditions where herbal remedies were carefully crafted. Mediterranean herbs, roots, and spices are combined with pomegranates and essential oils from bitter oranges and lemons. The ingredients are crushed and soaked in pure alcohol during a maceration process, which allows the aromas and flavors to infuse into the mixture. Once the right intensity of flavor is achieved, the liquid is reduced to drinking strength and bottled.
