Liqueur
Disaronno captures the senses with its amber colour, rich aroma and incomparable taste which has made it the world's favourite Italian liqueur
A mark of “Made in Italy” excellence for over 500 years, Disaronno continues to capture the imagination of discerning consumers everywhere. The unique and distinctive design of the bottle, with original square cap, adds a sense of contemporary elegance and style. Disaronno is perfectly inviting on the rocks yet also in fine cocktail form. Versatile and easily recognizable, it gives a special touch to a rich array of drinks.
The warm, sophisticated taste of Disaronno has a lineage dating back to one of the most romantic and creative periods in Italian history - the Renaissance. In 1525, the artist Bernardino Luini, a brilliant pupil of Leonardo da Vinci - was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna of the Miracles in Saronno (Madonna dei Miracoli in Saronno, where the Fresco is still displayed today).To portray the Madonna, he chose a beautiful local innkeeper as his muse. As a mark of her gratitude, she prepared a special gift for the artist, namely, a flask full of an amber liqueur, fragrant and delicate. That is how the legend of Disaronno arose: from a simple gesture of kindness and the unique handmade combination of secret ingredients.

I have long wondered why the change in name from Amaretto di Saronno to Disaronno Amaretto (almost twenty years ago)...
Interesting question EmptySeas, so decided to research why.
Amaretto originated in Saronno, Italy, a town in Lombardy, in the province of Varese. The accepted story tells us that in 1525, artist Bernardino Luini, a student of Leonardo da Vinci, was commissioned by a church in Saronno to paint frescoes on their sanctuary. Luini needed a model to help him paint the Madonna. A local young widow agreed to pose for him, and they soon fell in love. As a token of her love, she made him a batch of liqueur made from apricot pits steeped in brandy.
This supposedly became the recipe handed down the generations to eventually become Amaretto di Saronno Originale, in production since 1900. The name was later shortened to Amaretto Disaronno. In 2001, the company changed its name yet again to Disaronno Originale.
Also April 19th is National Amaretto Day in the U.S.
EmptySeas good point, got caught up with above info, didn’t think about that. Might dig further
EmptySeas phew saves me searching, as had a quick look and nothing. If you’ve got Alexa etc could try that avenue
Alexa? You MUST be joking, ivenailedit: she understands me less than my wife!
There was an interesting comparison between Google, Apple and Amazon smart assistants on The Gadget Show, last week: it did not turn out well for Alexa!
