This amaro was created in 1845 by Gian Battista Pezziol, a pastry chef originally from Padua, who decided to combine the yolks (not knowing what to do with the many egg yolks leftover from making nougats) with sugar, alcohol, and marsala to create an alcoholic zabajone. This super energetic zabaione takes its name from the Venetian term “vovi,” which means “eggs.” The preparation of homemade egg liqueur is quite easy and, simply by following the recipe, it is possible to obtain results that have nothing to envy of the most famous and expensive preparations on the market.

A particular amaro liqueur is Mi-Manda Rino, made with late mandarin from Ciaculli. The term tardivo indicates that its production occurs later than that of other citrus fruits of the same genus and owes its name to the hamlet of Palermo precisely Ciaculli, where it is grown. This variety of mandarin has been included among the Slow Food presidia, possesses a strong aroma and has a very thin skin. It is made by macerating lemon peels in alcohol (about 10 large lemons per liter of alcohol), to which water and sugar are added after several days. But it is common to prepare this very tasty liqueur with milk instead of water. In this case, you get a creamier consistency and a sweeter, softer taste on the palate. A real treat!This honey comes from the ancient tradition of the so-called “ fascitrari” or “ fasciddari,” beekeepers who from generation to generation produce honey in the traditional way, without the use of pesticides or modern machinery. Thanks to the splendid hives built with the fascetra, a special wooden tool very common in Sicily, the remains of the honey collected by pressing the combs are processed and recovered through the distillation process to produce a very special alcoholic beverage.

Exactly as with limoncello, the preparation of arancello involves the slow maceration of the peels in alcohol, to which water and sugar are added at a later stage. It is impossible not to be won over by the incredible citrus scent and its vibrant, intense orange color.
