History
According to legend, Frangelico was created 300 years ago by a hermit monk named Fra Angelico living in the Piedmont region of Italy. The distinctive bottle shaped like a friar with a rope belt honors this origin story. Whether true or marketing, Frangelico became the world's leading hazelnut liqueur.
How it’s made
Made by infusing toasted hazelnuts (grown in the Piedmont region) with a spirit base, along with cocoa, vanilla, and other natural flavors. The infusion creates a complex nutty flavor that's distinctly hazelnut but with supporting notes. It's sweetened and bottled at a moderate proof.
