Strega is a company located in the south of Italy, in the town of Benevento, specialized in liquor production since 1860.
The company produces the famous Liquore Strega (“Witch Liqueur”), a herbal liqueur that according to legend was brewed by witches in the area and used as a love potion.
Liquore Strega is distilled from a mixture of many different botanicals. The ingredients come from Europe, Central America and Orient. Among them we can find: cinnamon from Celyon, juniper from Italian Appenines and mint that grows wild on the river banks around Benevento. Its characteristic golden colour is given by saffron extract. The maturing in oak and hickory casks enhances the bouquet. The recipe of this liqueur is still secret and closely guarded by the founding family.
