Amendoa Amarga

Amarguinha is a traditional Portuguese almond liqueur originating from the Algarve region in southern Portugal. It is well-known for its distinctive bitter almond flavor derived from the local almond varieties.

Amendoa Amarga is made primarily from bitter almonds, which provide the characteristic aroma and flavor. The liqueur is crafted using a blend of natural extracts and sweeteners to balance the bitterness.

The production process involves maceration of bitter almonds and other natural ingredients in alcohol, followed by careful blending and sweetening. The liqueur is then filtered and bottled under controlled conditions to preserve its aromatic profile and quality.
