Liquore Strega

Liquore Strega is a famous Italian herbal liqueur produced since 1860 by Strega Alberti Benevento. Distilled from a secret blend of approximately 70 botanicals—including Samnite mint, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, and Ceylon cinnamon—its vibrant, iconic yellow color comes from the inclusion of natural saffron. Aged in wood barrels prior to bottling, it offers a unique, complex profile of fresh mint, coniferous herbs, gentle sweetness, and delicate spices.
