In 1882 Joseph Cartron started creating liqueurs in Argilly, located in Burgundy, France. Cartron still uses only high quality ingredients, absolutely without the addition of any colouring or flavouring. Amaretto is of Italian origin; the name comes from 'amaro', Italian for bitter. The basis for a good Amaretto is fresh, green almonds that are soaked in alcohol for weeks. This is in contrast to major brands, which no longer use almonds. This is why this Amaretto has a special and mildly intense almond flavour.
