Disaronno's heritage dates back to 1525 in Saronno, Italy, where the original amaretto liqueur was first crafted. Produced by ILLVA Saronno, the brand has maintained its commitment to quality and tradition for nearly five centuries. Disaronno Originale is celebrated worldwide for its distinctive almond flavour, achieved through a secret blend of herbs and fruits infused in apricot kernel oil. In 2020, the distillery introduced Disaronno Velvet, a cream liqueur that marries the classic almond notes with a velvety cream base, expanding their portfolio and appealing to a broader audience. The brand's iconic square-capped bottle, inspired by Italian craftsmanship, reflects its dedication to elegance and style.
