The almond is a key element of Sicily's agricultural heritage, with a long history of cultivation and production. The island's climate and fertile soil make it ideal for growing almond trees, and Sicilian almonds are renowned for their quality, distinctive taste and aroma.
The production of Sicilian almond liqueur involves several steps. The first step is the cold infusion of almonds and other aromatic components in alcohol for a period of 48 to 72 hours. This process extracts the flavours and aromas of the raw materials, giving the almond liqueur its characteristic flavour and aroma.
In a separate step, the neutral components of the product, such as cream, water, sugar, alcohol, milk protein and various additives, are mixed in a pasteuriser/homogeniser to ensure the stability of the non-soluble parts of the mixture.
The result is a fresh and delicate almond liqueur cream.
