Frangelico is an authentic and refined liqueur with a proudly nutty personality. According to legend, its origins date back more than 300 years to the presence of monks living in the hills of the Piedmont region of northern Italy. Their skills in fine food and drinks included the art of distilling, especially the use of the wild hazelnuts and other precious ingredients to create liqueur recipes such as the one on which Frangelico is based today. Frangelico Hazelnut Liqueur is blended with coffee, cocoa, and vanilla extracts and is best served on the rocks, as a shot in your coffee, or as a nutty twist to the classic espresso martini.
