Lazzaroni absinthe: a guide to alcohol
Overview of absinthe
Italian absinthe with an alcohol content of 60% and an unknown amount of thujone (some sources indicate up to 10 mg/l). The alcohol has a rich fresh green color and a mild flavor with dominant tones of wormwood and anise. In the bouquet, against the background of the aromas of herbs and spices, shades of anise are clearly captured.
Assenzio Fata Verde absinthe is based on fennel, anise and wormwood extracts, which are obtained as a result of their infusion with alcohol. Only natural ingredients are used in the manufacture of the drink, so the Lazzaroni product is one of the real absinthes.
Vzboltai considers this drink a typical representative of cocktail absinthe, for drinking by classical methods it does not fit.
About the manufacturer
In the first half of the 19th century, the Lazzaroni family, who lived in Saronne (Lombardy, Italy), became known for their liver "Amaretto di Saronne". Tasty delicacies were to the liking of the consumer and soon became very popular in the country. The family business gradually expanded and eventually a new company, Paolo Lazzaroni & Fili, was created to produce various alcoholic beverages. It is known that the line of liqueurs was launched in 1846.
5 years later, Paolo Lazzaroni created the world's first Amaretto liqueur based on biscuit tincture with the addition of plant extracts, although the manufacturer claims that its recipe first appeared in 1718. This liqueur has become a kind of business card of the company and has been its flagship for more than 150 years.
New production technologies, quality and originality of products have always been the subject of great interest and research of Paolo Lazzaroni and his descendants, which has led to the current level of prestige and recognition of the business in Italy and abroad.
The importance of quality in the Paolo Lazzaroni product line has always been at the top of the values: gold medals, coats of arms and awards testify to this.
