Description

Frangelico Liqueur

Frangelico liqueur is a sweet and aromatic liqueur originating from Italy, made from toasted hazelnuts, herbs, and spices. Its distinctive flavor combines intense notes of hazelnut with hints of cocoa, vanilla, and a slight touch of dried fruits, making it an ideal ingredient to add depth and aroma to various recipes in cooking and mixology.

This liqueur was created in the Piedmont region, famous for its high-quality hazelnuts, and its name refers to an 18th-century Franciscan monk named Fra Angelico, although the modern recipe dates back to the 1970s.

Culinary properties: Due to its sweet flavor and aromatic profile, Frangelico liqueur is widely used to enhance desserts such as pies, ice creams, and mousses, in addition to being a perfect complement to sauces for meat or seafood dishes. It is also commonly added to hot beverages like coffee or hot chocolate to enrich their flavor.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Although in many countries it is simply known as Frangelico liqueur, in some informal contexts it may be called hazelnut liqueur or nut liqueur, although these terms are more general and may refer to other similar liqueurs.
